The Disappearance of the Aïtus
Pauline Julier La Disparition des Aïtus, CH, 2014, 35', DCPThis poetic essay about Tuvalu, a microstate in South Pacific, is drawing an analogy between the disappearance of the country while the sea levels are rising and the imaginary erasure of its inhabitants. A metaphorical fable about modernization of the country unfolds on the island during a night visit of one night and shows an insular environment as both heavenly and scary.
