THE MIGRATING IMAGE
By following a fictional group of refugees across Europe, the film questions the production of images surrounding real-life tragedies and deaths. Each segment of the film takes its cue from the destination of the refugees, from FRONTEX depicting the refugees on the Mediterranean Sea, to a photojournalistic reportage from a warehouse somewhere in Belgrade. Where do all these images about refugees come from? How do they reshape the geography of Europe?

Awards
2019/8 La Guarimba - Best Documentary
This film is especially strong. It showed incredible spectrum of approaches towards what a documentary can be. from enjoyable treats to films that ask the hard questions that have no easy answers. A film that addresses the audience as adults, is self-reflective, and a perfect example of a film that does not display false platitudes
2019 Kurzfilmwoche Regensburg - Winner International Competition
A film that reflects the brutal reality of the process of immigration; using images about and from the immigrants. Combined from different sources, the images make the viewer contemplate about the reality behind the image and the image behind the reality.
2018 25FPS - Audience Award
2018 Signes Du Nuit - Edward Snowden Award
The filmmaker brilliantly analyses the visual representations - almost always potentially misleading - of the human, geographical and frightening itineraries of migrant people. A brilliant editing and a sober voiceover guide the viewer into decoding the alleged neutrality of these images, always shaped by power.
