This short film is intended to encourage reflection on the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by evoking the performance The Green Line, created in 2004 by artist Francis Alÿs.
Marking the Boundary is based on unedited rushes from the film Room of Shadows, by Camilo Restrepo. The aim of Room of Shadows is to highlight works of art, films and books that discuss the role of images (and representations in general) as vectors of ideologies, or as tools for emancipation.
Camilo Restrepo was born in Medellín (Colombia) in 1975 and lives and works in France. After studying visual arts at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he began working in film. He is a member of L’Abominable, an artist-run film laboratory. His films have been screened and awarded at prestigious film festivals such as Cannes, Toronto and New York. He has twice won the Pardino d’Argento at Locarno. His feature debut Los Conductos (2020) won the GWFF Best First Feature Award at the Berlinale. He teaches at various universities, art and film schools, including the Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola, where he developed the Room of Shadows project. His films Impressions of War (2015), La bouche (2017) and Los Conductos (2020) have been screened at previous editions of the Subversive Film Festival.
