Not Waving But Drowning

Elias Grootaers | Belgium | 52 mins

Elias Grootaers’s first long documentary, observes a number of Indian refugees who are arrested and put into a transit centre by the harbour police in Zeebruges, Belgium. Within the tense, haunted context of the harbour and the seaside, and together with them, we slowly lose all sense of time and place. Without investigating their past or their future, the human traffic organisations, or the Belgian legislation, the film delves into the limbo of those ‘without papers’.
