<BORDERS> makes its moves on the boundaryes between documentary _ video-inquest _ docufiction_

< BORDERS> focalises on facts and stories that are on the margins of History and at the same time create History.
…It tells of a world made up of many worlds, and therefore, even if tragic, wonderful.
The frontiers are places - non places that symbolise our time
… places - non places where different stories, people, languages meet
…hybrid places that by their nature are pulsing with life

The border-lines are places suspended between a ‘before’ and an ‘after’ places of passage, extreme places, as extreme as life and death….
