For 15 years, photojournalist Giorgos Moutafis bears witness to the journey of refugees across the dark crossings of Greece’s borders.

Futility, death, and exhaustion represents a large part of his work, as he finds new angles on this well-trodden terrain. His camera delves into inaccessible places, intimately documenting the stories of people who push against boundaries, revealing how ‘the Other Half’ lives.

Content warning: contains death, violence, and distressing scenes.

Followed by a panel discussion. 

London Migration Film Festival is an annual film festival that has been running since 2016. The aim of the festival is to challenge the narrow rhetoric on migration that often sees migration, and people on the move, framed in reductive and dehumanising binaries. The festival is taking place from 22-29 November 2023.
