‘The Other, can I lift the border?’ is a hybrid documentary in which the filmmaker, Lydia Rigaux, and performer Luanda Casella explore how the perceived border between the self and the other can be lifted. During a fictional trip to Le Havre they reflect on the subject. In additional calls and talks we hear personal stories how the interviewees experience their relation towards others.

Lydia Rigaux (1980) is a filmmaker born and living in Ghent, Belgium. Her work navigates between fiction and documentary. An idea can develop from a story or reality. Yet during the process of making the film the line between those two becomes thinner. Fictional or real elements introduce themselves equipollent. The films she makes have tense subjects like trauma, marginalized communities, destruction, lethargy. But Lydia translates these topics in a poetic way, making them a visual experience that connects with the viewer.
