Unscripted and magnificently improvised, CHANCE portrays the nocturnal attempt of four young Sudanese men to cross the canal from Belgium to the UK and seek asylum there. Filmed entirely within the trailer of a lorry, and based on the protagonists’ real life experiences, this docu-fiction is a rare, deeply human encounter with four individuals and with a reality that is too often invisible.

Effi & Amir’s work is shown locally and internationally in museums, art centres and festivals. In parallel to their own practice they collaborate with other artists, filmmakers and choreographers as editors, cameramen and effect designers. They teach and conduct workshops with various audiences worldwide. CHANCE is their third full length film.
