Eleven year old Stefan no longer knows his identity: is he Polish or German? Until now he has been Polish, and now that his family has moved to West Germany, he is supposed to be German? But there's the foreign language, the big city with its supermarkets and the lack of friends. In the end, Stefan leaves home and travels back to his hometown illegally. But he can't find his way around there either. Until Stefan knows where he belongs, he has to make many detours.

Finding Fanon 1
‘Finding Fanon’ is the first part in a series of works by artists Larry Achiampong and David Blandy; inspired by the lost plays of Frantz Fanon, (1925-1961) a politically radical humanist whose practice dealt with the psychopathology of colonisation and the social and cultural consequences of decolonisation. In the film, the two artists negotiate Fanon’s ideas, examining the politics of race, racism and the post-colonial, and how these societal issues affect their relationship. Their conflict is played out through a script that melds found texts and personal testimony, transposing their drama to a junkyard houseboat at an unspecified time in the future. Navigating the past, present and future, Achiampong and Blandy question the promise of globalisation, recognising its impact on their own heritage.
