Description
Starting with what seems to be a trivial security check procedure at the entrance to the Tel Aviv airport, By The Throat explores of a more deeply engraved border, albeit an invisible one, a border that marks our oral cavity and defines the sounds and words we can pronounce. We carry with us these limits, created by our mother-tongue, becoming ourselves a mobile check-point, wherever we are.
Combining filmed testimonies, found footage, youtube clips and medical imagery, the film moves through sonic, anatomical and political territories and explores how language and pronunciation are used to define, categorise and control.
