Been There

  • Corina Schwingruber Ilić

Tourists are conquering the world on the hunt for an even better picture. Weekend trips, city breaks, a detour into nature. Barely a few days off and you're already gone. Never before has the desire to travel been so widespread and the places visited so crowded. What do we get out of it, apart from the photo evidence that we have been there?

DIRECTOR

  • Corina Schwingruber Ilić

    The question of belonging and being a stranger runs like a common thread through the short films that Corina Schwingruber Ilić makes together with Nikola Ilić. Their works, especially the most recent ones, are very successful. Her film All Inclusive, which, like Been There, deals with tourism, was shown at the festivals in Venice, Toronto and Sundance and received the Golden Dove in Leipzig and a nomination for the Swiss Film Award. Corina lives in Switzerland.
