Where there is no point

2016, documentary, 8', Language: Arabicco-directed with Aisha Adepoju 
 
‘Where there is no point’ is a film about the perception of the sea by people who cross it, aiming for a better future. After the difficulties people face when travelling over sea, do they look at it in a different way? In this film we worked together with people that were residing at the asylum center ‘Klein Kasteeltje’ in Brussels. They shared with us their testimonies of their journey on sea while reaching this continent. Focusing on their tactical experience and perception of the sea, it gave them the liberty to tell their story from a different angle and with more visual detail for memory. The imagery is comprised of two things; youtube and social media videos of the sea, underlining the mediatising of their stories and livelihoods. The second element are shots of the people who shared with us their stories, facing images of the sea again in a studio through projections.
