For whom are travel films made, like the one shot by the woman standing at the railing of a passenger ship with her small camera? Is it for us that she’s taking these personal images that are usually only intended to be shown at home? Or the images of escape and emigration? In Passagen, based on various twentieth-century travel movements, the private and the political collide: a cinematic essay with contemporary relevance.
