Dead Angle: Borders
Dead Angle is a multi-year curated program that uses documentary cinema as a torch to illuminate the dark corners of our awareness. Starting with the theme Borders, the program delves into the complex symbolism of borders, exploring them not just as physical barriers, but as profound metaphors for identity, community, and the human condition.
