Spovednica tihotapcev. Pogledi skozi železno zaveso.

Overview

A customs office on the border between two cities, countries, social systems, between the Romance and Slavic worlds, 65 years after the end of the war. On 20 December 2007, with Slovenia's entry into the Schengen area, Nova Gorica found itself without border gates for the first time in its short history. That same evening, this traumatic space, now retired, was transformed into a meeting place. It was equipped with a camera, microphone, computer and a curtain, allowing for undisturbed remembrance. People come from both sides, bringing stories and images with them and donating them to a shared album of memories of both cities. The confided memories and fragments of family and archive films shot in this area show how two different realities can find themselves in the same place at the same time. The documentary video reveals the stories of the absurd, so characteristic of all border areas in the world.
