Waiting is a particular kind of relation to the world. Keeping people waiting is practicing domination and power. Temporal bordering constitutes an army of reserve labour, whose time is regarded as surplus and wasted and therefore easily exploited. Similar to the case of colonial extraction of natural resources, temporal bordering is nothing other than an act of stealing, stealing of time.
WAITING is an experimental film which started from a conversation between a filmmaker and an anthropologist. WAITING explores the theme of waiting through the testimonies of three migrant men in Europe. The testimonies about waiting appear in different forms; letter writing, painting and poetic research. The aim of the film is to integrate academic knowledge into migrant stories and make them accessible to a broader audience by combination of words and images.
