IN TRANSIT: MIGRATION

IN TRANSIT M I G R A T I O N

7 films focusing on people in movement, selected and presented by 7 contemporary ­playwrights from China, Norway, Italy, the United States, and Tatarstan. “Migration” was the theme a writing workshop called New text, new stage which has c­ ulminated in a collective piece premiering at Hålogåland Theater (The Arctic Theater) ­during TIFF 2017: APENE I HIMALAYA. The 7 writers involved in the workshop have been ­invited to select one film each related to the theme of migration, a film that has inspired them or provoked them in their own work. The result is an eclectic selection of films that o­ ffers stimulating perspectives on migration from a totally different angle than we know from news media. Each writer will introduce his or her film at one of the screenings, ­explaining their reasons for the choice. Please see the schedule or tiff.no for more information on the times.
