Germany 2023 – Director: André Siegers – Original language: Other, English, German, Spanish – Subtitles: English, German
In search of a story, a German film crew ends up in El Alberto, Mexico. The village has become famous for the Caminata Nocturna – an attraction that re-enacts illegal border crossings to the USA and is based on the experiences of the locals. This keenly nuanced essay film grapples with the possibilities and limits of cinematic representation. Monika Haas
