Idomeni
Race & Equality • 1h 30m
Idomeni is both a place suspended in time, and a film shaped by scenes from the parallel lives of adults and children in the camp. The children do not go to school but live in their own world and take care of each other, having little contact with their surroundings. The film catches their bubble and shows: they are tomorrow's Europe. It is a place where you are suspended in time. You cannot move forward and you cannot go back. You are confined. But it is not a prison, it is a refugee camp. Refugee camps are usually located far away from the rest of society and they become like worlds of their own. This is a film about life in the camps. The film does not explore the dramatic events of the journey but the seemingly still and slowed down moments in the camps.
