Forget Alberto For Now

Directed by
Beina Xu
.
A refugee known only as Alberto flies from Athens to Brussels on a fake passport. Three years later, a small crew from Berlin tries to make a film by shooting the landscape of his transit. Things fall apart. They film pigeons instead. The artifice of documentary becomes the subject itself: where do we stand between image and meaning? Forget Alberto For Now is an essay that probes our roles as authors and spectators, and interrogates the politics of narrative: to whom do stories belong, and who has the right to tell them? The director asks “What happens if we don’t want to film the protagonist…Can a pigeon be a protagonist?”
