Mascara Film Club presents a group screening exploring the construction of borders, featuring works by Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Ania Mokrzycka, and Thomas Burke. Attending to contested geographies from the US-Canada boundary to Northern Ireland and the borderlands between Poland and Belarus, these films each offer distinct meditations on the various systems – political, legal, and historical – that produce and call into question territorial divisions. Shifting between poetic and investigative narratives, the films explore the complex lived realities and material consequences of man-made lines drawn on maps.
