Film Screening: Visualizing Borders
You can see CHINA from here (17 min)
William A. Callahan, LSE
Borders not only separate things, but are the place where people come together. This film examines how Chinese and non-Chinese people experience their encounters with the Other (and thus with their Self) at the Lo Wu Bridge, the iconic border between Hong Kong and mainland China.
‘We Are Not Immigrations’: Examining Everyday Border Practices at the US-Mexican Border (18 min)
Cynthia Weber, University of Sussex
The closing of the US-Mexican border is on-going historical event that affects the daily lives of many people living along this border. These two films examine how indigenous US and Mexican Americans, whose tribal lands sit on both sides of this border, experience these effects in another register.
