Thaumazein – A Film By Aleksander Motturi

rocka 2SMALLAleksander Motturi essay film Thaumazein premieres at Gothenburg International Film Festival. The film is based on a philosophical conversation with Peter Ekwiri whose refugee history was the starting point for Clandestino Festival more than ten years ago.

Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? When Peter Ekwiri—one of the dark spots in the history of Swedish migration politics—approaches Paul Gauguin’s universal questions, a line of flight taking us from Clandestino Festival in Göteborg on a journey full of wonder is activated. Out of a documentary narrative on how Swedish migration authorities dumped a Sudanese-Ugandan in Ghana, emerges a philosopher without documents, hovering over a system that is trying to sacrifice him on the altar of asylum politics.
