Newsreel 63 – The Train of Shadows
Film, SI, 2017, 39′
// in Slovenian with English subtitles //
Newsreel 63 follows newsreel-related practices and tries to position and understand a particular image – a shred of video taken on the once famous Belgrade–Ljubljana rail-line, where refugees now travel not in couchettes but between the train’s wheels. Newsreel 63 drifts into a visual investigation of railways and explores its historical, social and political narrative.
Film is part of the group exhibition Cheers to Women! 25 Years of Film and Video, screened at the marathon Cheers to Women! in Kinoteka.
