Experience Bern through the eyes of the filmmaker, blogger and photographer Firas Shamsan, who fled from Yemen: With a smartphone and headphones, you go on a city tour where Firas Shamsan talks about his everyday life, about new beginnings and wishes for the future and about major geographical and mental barriers.
“A Walk to Myself” is a collaboration between refugees and theater professionals. In this video walk, Firas Shamsam thinks out loud about his everyday life. His cell phone always plays a central role: as a storage for photos, videos and documents, but also as a source of information and aid when on the go. By reflecting on the relationships between electronic images, wishful thinking, and contemporary realities, a complex inquiry emerges into memories, hopes, and blind spots as they relate to contemporary questions about global virulent issues such as human rights and privacy.
