WHAT THEY SEE (short movie)
written and directed by Jasmin Tran (

starring Anne Schwarzelt (

A short film about the reality of People of Color. When it comes to being part of society and feeling a part of it, people of color encounter the phenomenon again and again: code switching. Code Switching is what happens when people reflexively or subtly change the way they express themselves (language, behavior, appearance, etc.). With POCs, this does not happen voluntarily, but out of the pressure of a sense of belonging, to get equal chances and opportunities and to »survive society«. POCs that exist in two or three different worlds almost simultaneously and constantly present a slightly altered version of themselves are under tremendous pressure. It‘s about knowing how you are being perceived and staying true to who you are.
Thank you to everyone who was involved!
