Connecting Borders (13’)

Directed by Gemma Gfeller
Edited by Diana Cheung

I made this film as an attempt to deepen my understanding of border experiences. I spoke to people from different backgrounds, cultures and religions, from Ireland, Palestine, Colombia, the United States and Turkey. The interviews, conducted in the border city of Derry, where I was born and raised, and in Berlin, a city with its own unique history of borders, where I now live, offered me polyvocal perspectives to contrast our Irish border with other views of what it means to live in a bordered world.
