Walled Unwalled

Imagina 2019 / Walled Unwalled / Germany 2018

Perhaps never before has global society manifested such an urge to build mighty walls to safeguard sovereignty. At the same time, it has likewise invested vast sums of money and energy in technology and increasingly inventive methods to facilitate the traversal of these physical barriers. A resourcefully constructed film examining the very essence of the modern world in a contemplation of isolationism and the endless attempts to overcome it.

Synopsis

Perhaps never before has global society manifested such an urge to build mighty walls to safeguard their sovereignty. At the same time, it has invested vast sums of money and energy in technology and increasingly inventive methods to facilitate the traversal of these physical barriers. This resourcefully constructed film, examining the very essence of the modern world, contemplates isolationism and the endless attempts to overcome it.
