Alienation, estrangement, defamiliarization, rootless and free, rooted and entangled, naivety/diversity, dual perspective, infinite boundaries blurred. All role-playing. Creating identities? Perhaps I should get myself a completely new identity, a reconstruction, freely invented from imaginary memories of here and there and put together with gentle ironies.

A viewing and discussion platform opens up along five thematic islands that poses questions about migration, gender relations and post-colonial structures, and relates them to current debates about documentary film, journalistic ethics and the medium of television.
Link to the Programme
“The Fifth Wall” comprises films, reportages, moderations, texts, letters and photos by filmmaker and editor Navina Sundaram spanning over 40 years of her work in public television. Designed as a digital biography of her work and modelled on a media library, the archive is structured thematically.
Sourced from ARD archives as well as Sundaram’s private archive, “The Fifth Wall” is a curated look at German migration and media history. Navina Sundaram is the prime focus as an author who takes a journalistic stance: on internationalism and decolonisation, class issues, racism, immigration, Indian and German politics.
