The documentary film “BorderSpeaking“ follows the former Schengen-border.
The project was conceived as a travelling event along the former Schengen-border during the summer of 2009, where the film «La frontière intérieure» was shown in 40 different places along the former Schengen border from the Baltic to the Adriatic sea in cooporation with local partners.
This documentary film is based on the portraits of 7 border inhabitants from seven different countries who tell us about their life and particular destiny regarding the development of the border. Sharing their memories, oscillating between their desire to forget and their need to remember the complex history, the film give remarkable insights into the state of the European Union 20 years after the fall of the iron curtain.
