Unerasable! (Diary of A Hidden Fate)

A political and cinematic diary of exile, where images become a weapon against erasure.

In 2018, C.P., a Vietnamese independent filmmaker committed to democracy, is forced to flee his country after being tortured. A long exile begins: five years without papers in Thailand, followed by Europe, where the freedom he had hoped for collides with other forms of control and precarity. To trace C.P.’s journey, his friend, another filmmaker who works under the pseudonym Socrates Saint-Wulfstan Drakos to protect their anonymity, creates a collage of images, combining their own footage with fragments of films, colonial archives, propaganda and political cinema. Images blur, deteriorate and overlap; even memories seem threatened with erasure. Blending personal diary, essay film and collage, Unerasable! turns exile into an act of resistance against erasure.
