Description
The Great Wall is a visually hypnotic and disturbing study of borders and immigration in a contemporary Europe increasingly preoccupied with its own fortification.. In a simple but highly suggestive manoeuvre, we hear Kafka's short story, "The Building of the Great Wall of China" being read over searing images of concrete walls, maps, barbed wire and armed guards, which chart the ominous security culture that aims to protect EU citizens from the perceived threat of mass immigration. These synchronized juxtapositions comprise a visual essay that reflects on concepts of power and exclusion, and map out some of the darkest undertones in the European project. With nationalism, isolationism, and authoritarianism on the rise, the ominous tones of The Great Wall recall dark episodes of the past, and suggest that physical walls are not likely to build real legitimacy for power. And as in Kafka, the film suggests that the walls being built to keep out the other may be blocking us from our own freedom.
