TRACING MOVEMENTS is a collaborative audio-visual research project, documenting political resistance against a Europe which attempts to stop, filter, select and control the movement of people across and within its borders.

Against the backdrop of yet another capitalist crisis, a number of self-organised migrant struggles and solidarity movements have emerged and developed.

The Tracing Movements Collective traveled across Greece, Bulgaria and Italy with a mobile cinema unit, documenting a number of struggles. This method of meeting and exchanging experiences through film and debate was the basis for the audio-visual material gathered.

Sylvie from Tracing Movements will introduce two documentaries from the project - Emerging Solidarities recounts the story of a group of Senegalese migrant workers who worked on a tomato plantation in the west of Greece. The workers were owed wages - they organised a hunger strike, built alliances, and the struggle grew… The Invisible Workforce is a short film about the circumstances and struggles of seasonal workers in Southern Italy exploring efforts to organise and barriers to resistance.Plus workshop.
