GSFF 2017 We Were Strangers Once, Too: Reflections on Sovereignty Programme 2: Power To The People

In the month in which the British government is expected to invoke Article 50 and commence EU exit negotiations, GSFF takes a wider view, considering notions of nationhood and borders both physical and cultural. We have invited curators from imagineNATIVE, the world’s largest showcase of Indigenous-made screen content, and Dokufest, the leading film festival in Kosovo, to propose programmes of short films exploring sovereignty in distinctive ways. In three films, Dokufest presents the ambiguities of identity inherent in a young country, and the complexity of relations between Kosovo and her neighbours Serbia and the EU.
