The film touches on some historical facts about the largest refugee camp El Shatt in the Sinai desert in Egypt during the WWII, based on materials from Croatian and international archives and interwined with the visuals of this desert non-place now. An attempt to reconstruct a fragmented memory of unknown history about migration in the Mediterranean as a transtemporal filmic journey.
Chasing the Sun: El Shatt (2023) is currently not available on any services.
