Moving Out, Moving On

23. April 13:00 – 15:00 | Filmmuseum Potsdam

Five films about people facing change. Leaving home, crossing borders, or encountering unexpected worlds, they must sometimes leave parts of their lives behind in search of identity, freedom, and the courage to imagine another future.

Colibrí
Hummingbird

Vanishing Trails

牧道

China 2025 / Documentary Short / 25’

In the vast Altay region, a herder’s family moves with the seasons, bound to the grassland’s rhythms. Quiet, observational images reveal a nomadic world at the edge of change, where transformation feels as inevitable as the roll of a bulldozer.
