Screening Nördlich von Libyen
Screening Nördlich von Libyen (Luise Müller, 2023) in cooperation with Stadtkino Wien, followed by a discussion with the director.
"And then the sea is beautiful, but at the same time also a grave," Antje tells us about the Mediterranean, her little dog sleeping next to her on the sofa. Antje worked as a medic on sea rescue missions, her partner Dariush as a captain. In Italy, Dariush is charged with "aiding and abetting illegal immigration." He faces 20 years in prison.
NORTH OF LIBYA begins in Hamburg as a portrait of Antje and Dariush. Their story leads beyond Europe's external borders, while the images remain in the northern German port city. Finally, the focus shifts directly to Europe's periphery. A film about the coexistence of two worlds.
