*Official Selection Montreal International Film Festival 2007
Film produced and directed by Marc Wiltshire. Sound design and foley artist: Estelle Hébert.
Synopsis: a short comedy piece about a guy named Michael, who is forced to attend AA meetings after getting caught drinking two beers south of the border.
Passing Lines--an audio-based documentary--explores the tensions and difficulties that exist between the rigid structures enforced by Immigration and those traveling individuals who have made their refugee claim based on their sexual identity. Combining soundscapes and testimonies obtained from outside the judicial system, Passing Lines tells the story of three different queer refugees' journey to Canada, exploring new grounds by emphasizing sound as traveling speech, testimony, and story within a society where visuality continues to be privileged.
