Nostalgia
Pieter Geenen, BE, 2009, video, 13'

Shot from a touristy observatory in Greek Nicosia, the video shows a panoramic view of the Turkish part of Cyprus, across the buffer zone. The soundtrack is a collection of sounds along this so called Attila Line crossing the island from coast to coast. In what way is this physical border also a mental border? 

 

The Exception and the Rule
Karen Mirza & Brad Butler, UK/PK/IN, 2009, video, 43'

Conscious of their perceptions of Karachi and its geo-political weight, the filmmakers investigate the everyday patterns of its inhabitants and social architecture in what becomes an experimental ethnography, avoiding traditional documentary modes.
