Moria Six
MORIA SIX, Germany 2024, 82 min, Greek, English, Persian, German with German subtitles, directed by: Jennifer Mallmann
After a fire completely destroyed the Moria refugee camp in 2020, the debate about the inhumane conditions at Europe’s external borders and the regular pushbacks in the Mediterranean fell silent, both locally and in public discourse. The questionable conviction of six young people accused of arson in Moria also went largely unnoticed. Jennifer Mallmann’s film takes a second look at this situation and focuses on her correspondence with Hassan, one of the convicts. In quiet, precisely framed images, she shows the mechanisms of European compartmentalisation – a policy that treats people seeking protection like criminals and banishes them to modern high-security camps.
