Identity on the Line

Special Mention
Category: Heritage Audiovisual

Identity on the Line is a powerful documentary that examines the long-term effects of migration processes across Europe over the past century. This large-scale project, involving six cultural history museums and one university, focuses on the personal stories of migrants and their descendants, exploring the emotional and humanistic impact of forced and voluntary migration. The documentary captures the complexity of identity, belonging, and the lasting trauma that migration can cause, making it highly relevant in today’s social and political context, especially in light of the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Motivation: “This special mention recognizes the documentary for its humanistic approach, offering a deep reflection on migration and its effects on European identities, both historically and in the contemporary era.”
