Tales of Borders is an exploration of the power of stories to connect people over borders of time and space.
Engaging creatively with the research material Tales of Borders uses the medium of film to demonstrate the importance of imagery, symbolism, and connection to the landscape in the supernatural narratives of these two communities while inviting the audience to reflect on the symbolism of the imagery in the narratives of their own community.
