A Passage

A Passage is a film which tackles the political economy and social ecology of border infrastructures in Southern Armenia. A Passage looks at how processes of rapid militarization and neoliberalization have restructured these borders, namely the recent erasure of the historic Yerevan-Baku Railway; and the upcoming construction of an industrial Free Economic Zone planned precisely where the removed train infrastructure was housed.

A Passage is a hybrid mixed genre vision generated in the sun scorched valleys of Southern Armenia's Meghri region. Giving equal weight to gossip and myth as it does to factual events, A Passage meanders through dense sediments of history with the evacuated linkages of the Yerevan-Baku Railway as its guide, towards a future of Free Economic Zones and uncertainty.
