Who Is Europe? is a documentary in three acts, commissioned by CoHERE. Shot in Germany, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Serbia and the UK the film questions what Europe is, who ‘belongs’, and what the significance of the past is for contemporary social and political realities. It uses a split-screen technique to explore contrasts and dissonances through a poetics of juxtaposition that highlights the tensions between and contests over the different cultures, experiences and understandings of Europe today.

Followed by an in-conversation event with filmmaker Ian McDonald, touching on European identity, media representation of migration, and the border zone.

This screening will be captioned for D/deaf and Hard of Hearing audiences and the post-film discussion will be BSL interpreted.
