Through a montage of film fragments, she gathers various representations of migrants and refugees traveling to Europe in contemporary cinema.
Selini Halvadaki (1985, Denmark) explores how cultural narratives are produced and influenced by private and collective memory through media such as film and video.
By combining historical contexts from archival films with new footage, video becomes a tool to question social and political issues.
Halvadaki actively participates in numerous collaborative projects and organizes exhibitions to explore collective production methods.
She has taken part in exhibitions and festivals such as IMAGES FESTIVAL (Toronto), Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, CPH:DOX (DK), It Might Be Political (DK), FOKUS VideoArtFestival (Copenhagen), EXTRACT IV – Young Art Prize (Copenhagen), Athens International Short Film Festival, South East European Film Festival (Los Angeles), A Feminist Reader: Hannah Wilke (Copenhagen), Swedenborg Film Festival (London), Copenhagen Short Film Festival, Pune Short Film Festival (Maharashtra, India), and Istanbul International Architecture and Urban Film Festival.
