LIFE ELSWHERE
Unprecedented happenings once again marked this year with terrorist attacks becoming daily occurrence around the world and armed conflicts threat for many. Lack of safety on one side and poverty and economic uncertainty on the other has driven millions from their homes and into that dangerous and perilous path of migration causing one of the greatest waves of human migration in recent history.
This specially curated program for 2Annas brings a petite flavor of those talents working abroad proving that life may be elsewhere but future is here, The program intentionally starts with a short film of a Bosnian author that depicts the moment of farewell, and goes on with three different immigrant stories, taking us from Norway to US and then takes us to a set for a visual exploration of displacement, and the longings and desires of their inhabitants.
