Transit(s): Our Traces, Our Ruins

Directed by Bani Khoshnoudi

“Exiles, refugees, undocumented migrants – whatever word we use to talk about it, the movement of human beings across the planet is a millennia-old and repetitive story, following the formations of our civilizations, their catastrophes and sometimes their downfalls.” By exploring the idea of the traces left by the movement of peoples since millennia, and immersing herself in the current context, Bani Khoshnoudi proposes a new film questioning the ethics of society in the face of the movement of human beings. In parallel with this film, she invited Italian dancer Valentina Campora to probe on stage the gestures and movements of the body (despised, misunderstood, politicized) in transit.
