Otto Lazić-Reuschel

As a child, Moha travelled from Morocco to Europe. Today, eight years later, he lives in a small Spanish city thanks to the help of his friends and the support of social services. Trapped between his childhood dreams and his disillusionment as a young adult, he clings to what he can. As an illegal immigrant, he lives every day with uncertainty.

For decades, Kinoatelje has explored the cinematic heritage of the Gorizia area, tracing memories and stories that cross borders. From this legacy emerges a new chapter: an episodic film entrusted to a new generation of filmmakers. This collective film was shot in Gorizia in the summer of 2025 - among streets and rivers where stories intertwine, in a threshold city shaped by its own pulse. Under the artistic direction of filmmaker Alessandro Comodin, and inspired by Sandro Scandolara’s book Nostro cine quotidiano, five filmmakers - Laura Samani, Ester Ivakič, Otto Lazić-Reuschel, Jan Devetak and Francesco Sossai - have dismantled the border to create a polyphonic portrait of the city.

Along with dozens of other young Moroccan boys between 8 and 18 years old, Mohammed lives on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in the port of Melilla, a Spanish autonomous town on the east coast of North Africa. Mohammed lives in the hope of one day stowing away aboard a freighter headed for Europe.

Najib, Manu and Jörg have been living in Berlin for many years and are still struggling with the nature of the city. While wandering around Kreuzberg at dawn, a curious camera follows the characters in their (un) likely encounters. A chaotic bubble of different perspectives, destinies, languages and cultures nevertheless float into the everyday life of Berlin at the edge of night and day.

Gorizia, 1930. Through the gaze of the cameraman of the Fascist Afterwork Club (OND) we see the regime’s marches and the celebration. By imagining the voice of his thoughts, we delve into his insecurities and his surrender to a silent dissent. The images remain, continuing to tell of a time that has yet to pass.
