Rashōmon in the Sahara. A new documentary by José Gonzalez Morandi

Scritto da lab il . Pubblicato in Documentario, Film.

Inspired by “Rashōmon” by Akira Kurosawa, in which a single event is explained from different points of view, this new documentary project by José Gonzalez Morandi, brings together multiple narratives that make up a complex image of the Ifni-Sahara war, also known as the “forgotten war”. An episode of a wider decolonization process involving the whole Africa, from the 50s to the 70s.

The film aims to recover the memories of the veterans, trying to bring voices and memories out of oblivion. The idea was to place the story of the former LNA members and indigenous troops in the colonial armies that confronted them in its historical context and restore the complexity of the related versions in a polyphonic narrative through the film.

The documentary funded by the Gerda Henkel Stiftung (Dusseldorf) is avialable here:

Rashōmon team: Jean Philippe CORBELLINI ( Sound recording, cameraman, CNRS / MSH Val de Loire, Tours); Francesco CORREALE (Author, producer, CNRS / UMR 7324 CITERES, Tours); Camille EVRARD (Scientific expert, FRAMESPA, Université Toulouse Jean Jaurès); José GONZALEZ MORANDI (Director, editor, cameraman, Barcelone); Alberto LOPEZ BARGADOS (Author, producer, GRECS-Universitat de Barcelona).

Associated members in Western Sahara and Morocco: Mohammed Mohammed Ahmed DAHMI (Traductor, independant researcher); Khalid EL MANSOURI (Traductor).

Inspirado en “Rashōmon” de Akira Kurosawa, en el que se explica un solo evento desde diferentes puntos de vista, este nuevo proyecto documental de José González Morandi, reúne múltiples narrativas que conforman una imagen compleja de la guerra Ifni-Sahara, también conocida como la “guerra olvidada”.

Un episodio de un proceso de descolonización más amplio que involucró a toda África, desde los años 50 hasta los 70. La película tiene como objetivo recuperar los recuerdos de los veteranos, tratando de sacar voces y recuerdos del olvido.

La idea era ubicar la historia de los ex miembros del LNA y las tropas indígenas en los ejércitos coloniales que los confrontaron en su contexto histórico y restaurar la complejidad de las versiones relacionadas en una narrativa polifónica a través de la película.

Refugees’ Lockdown. An art-based research project

Scritto da lab il . Pubblicato in Senza categoria.

Refugees’ Lockdown is an art-based research project organized by the Visual Sociology Research Group, the Oblò Association and the Controluce photographic club.

The goal is to create a visual archive and a collective art work on the experience of the pandemic for women and men seeking asylum or refugees. All those who have spent at least one month in the Italian reception system between January 2020 and the end of the initiative (May 31, 2021) can send their visual stories of the pandemic; the project is not focused on health aspects, rather on the consequences the pandemic entailed on the daily life of asylum seekers and refugees.

Photographs, illustrations and videos are admitted.

More information available ont the project’s website: www.refugeeslockdown.com

Tutti coloro che hanno trascorso almeno un mese nel sistema di accoglienza italiano tra gennaio 2020 e la fine dell’iniziativa (31 maggio 2021) possono inviare il loro racconto visivo della pandemia; il progetto non è focalizzato sugli aspetti sanitari, quanto sulle conseguenze che la pandemia ha comportato sulla vita quotidiana di richiedenti asilo e rifugiati.

Debordering Europe. A new book about the Italian-French border

Scritto da lab il . Pubblicato in Confini, Libro, Migrazioni.

“Debordering Europe”, a new book about the Italian-French border in Ventimiglia is out. A collective works focused on how border works within the Schengen area, which provide a unique perspective and a critic insight about the lack of shrared responsability between EU member states, the EU common asylum system, and the respect of human rights. Furthermore, the authors – including our colleagues Livio Amigoni, Luca Giliberti, Luca Queirolo Palmas and Federico Rahola – have the merit of opening a discussion about borders and the role of migration control policies precisely at the moment in which “national sovereignties” seem to have become an unavoidable topos of politics, in every European country.

È uscito “Debordering Europe”, un nuovo libro sul confine italo-francese di Ventimiglia. Un lavoro collettivo incentrato su come funzionano le frontiere all’interno dell’area Schengen, che fornisce una prospettiva unica e una visione critica sulla mancanza di responsabilità condivisa tra gli Stati membri dell’UE, sul sistema dell’asilo politico nell’UE e sul rispetto dei diritti umani. Inoltre gli autori – tra cui i nostri colleghi Livio Amigoni, Luca Giliberti, Luca Queirolo Palmas e Federico Rahola – hanno il merito di aprire una discussione sui confini e sul ruolo delle politiche di controllo delle migrazioni proprio nel momento in cui i “sovranismi” sembrano essere diventati un topos ineludibile della politica, in ogni paese europeo .
