Transit + The Exilic Legacy of Hannah Arendt
Fri 28 NovGeorg, a German refugee, is trying to escape present-day occupied France. As the days pass, other refugees around him are captured or killed. His hopes lie on a passage to Mexico he managed to get tickets for – but the wait seems interminable.
Post-Screening Discussion
To mark 50 years since the death of Hannah Arendt, the film will be followed by a discussion on the ongoing significance of Arendt’s work to contemporary issues of migration, specifically her ideas on statelessness, liminality, exile, and totalitarianism.
The London Migration Film Festival, which is holding its 10th annual edition from 27 November-3 December 2025, aims to challenge the narrow rhetoric on migration that often sees migration, and people on the move, framed in reductive and dehumanising binaries.
