"Das Archiv am Meeresgrund"
In the summer of 2025, a mysterious archive surfaced, discovered at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. Alongside facts and documents about the Long Summer of Flight in 2015, it also contains previously unpublished, leaked materials.
On November 8 at 6:15 p.m., some of the archive’s partly explosive contents will be made public for the first time on Freirad (Free Radio Innsbruck) and at Leokino Innsbruck. The event takes place as part of Remembering 2015 (ZeMIT, TKI open) and in cooperation with the Inncontro Film Festival.

Während Titos Regierungszeit entstanden über 200 Monumente, die an den Widerstand der Partisan*innen und an die Verbrechen des Zweiten Weltkriegs erinnern. Was seinerzeit für die Zusammengehörigkeit aller Bewohner*innen der Republiken und autonomen Provinzen stand, zeugt heute von politischer und gesellschaftlicher Zerrissenheit. Zerwürfnisse und Kriege haben in den neuen Nationalstaaten Differenzen sichtbar gemacht und zu ethnisch, national und religiös motivierten Konflikten beigetragen.
"KAMU", 24 Min., July 2023
A working day comes to an end, people rush to the tram. Nothing unusual. Or is it? A table tennis game without players. A flautist in a dark underpass, fighting against the traffic noise. The image takes over and assures us that everything was just an illusion.
