CAUGHT IN BETWEEN DARKNESS AND LIGHT

Alessandra D’Onofrio | Italy, France, Great Britain 2009 | 16 Min. | OV

Whilst intertwining narratives of people’s life stories, this experimental video composed by still images and audio recordings, aims to give an alternative representation of refugee experiences of flight to those offered by most official media, by giving importance to the voices and individual stories of struggle, determination, disorientation and hope. These are the stories of a journey perceived through the metaphors of the imaginary, which infuse some meaning to otherwise absurd and depriving circumstances.
