Presented by the Transborder Film Foundation, "Still Moving" brings together filmmakers from both sides of the border and draws an analogy between moving images and migrating bodies. The filmmakers’ works locate migrating bodies, affects, and memories through relics, artifacts, and ruptures in spacetime, traversing mediums and experimental methods. Presenting these films in conversation, "Still Moving" questions the continuity of colonial time and elevates the lives suspended between motion and stillness—the undocumented, the displaced, the disappeared, and the rendered ghostlike in this space we co-dwell. Through this program, TFF calls out violent border regimes, colonial forces, and capitalist extractions that loom around collective experiences of migration across the U.S.-Mexico border. At some times, migrating bodies become an exhibition of the border; at other times, the bodies become the border itself. Speaking in the present continuous tense, "Still Moving" is a call to bear witness and take action: migrating, gathering, resisting and remembering. This screening aims to bring the local community together and cultivate a shared space for reflection, connection, and healing. Following the films, TFF invites all audiences and filmmakers to join small group conversations and share their thoughts and experiences. Mingei International Museum on Facebook / Instagram
