Elsewhere, Everywhere


Poster image Elsewhere, Everywhere

A computer screen, images from all over the world. One click is all it takes to cross borders, whereas the tale of another journey unfolds in bits and pieces, through text messages, chats, phone conversations, and an interview at the British immigration office. It’s the journey of Shahin, a 20-year-old Iranian man who fled his homeland first to Greece then finally to England where he claims asylum. More than an actual trip, it is a journey through a young man's inner states, as he transforms himself and discovers a new sense of distance and exile – one that blends with the more widely shared experience of a connected world.

This troubling and extremely touching film tells the story of the solitude, anguish and lost hopes of Shahin, an asylum seeker for 20 years who emigrated for Iran to England. His story, juxtaposed to images extracted from security cameras situated all over the world, is transmitted by fragments of text messages and telephonic conversations with his family, and from the reconstitution (played by Shahin himself) of his immigration agent's interrogation. A singular film of great formal power that transports us elsewhere and everywhere at once.
