An artistic angle towards the consequences of the global refugee crisis on a human level. Invisible will be screened before the main film ‘My Aunt in Sarajevo’ in this slot.

Synopsis

A middle-aged man is getting ready to take extreme measures to ensure a better future for him and his family abroad. He puts together a mysterious device, hides it under his coat and goes to the bustling centre of a Western European city. He is frantically looking for a perfect spot to execute his plan. The director points out: ‘’Film is our take on one of the currently most discussed issues: the refugee crisis. While holding the mirror up to each one of us, the story explores refugee stigmatization in today’s Europe. So much is said about the global consequences of this crisis, and very little about the consequences on a personal, human level, or even the causes. That’s the story we are trying to tell, and to point out that many people actually do not have a choice.’’

Director's statement

Film Invisible is our take on one of the currently most discussed issues, the refugee crisis. While holding the mirror up to each one of us, the story explores refugee stigmatization in today’s Europe. So much is said about the global consequences of this crisis, and very little about the consequences on a personal, human level, or even the causes. That’s the story we are trying to tell, and to point out that many people actually do not have a choice.
