The Phantom Fortress
“The Phantom Fortress” explores the relationship between the Elsau prison and its immediate surroundings. Through poetic and contrasting images, the film questions the presence of anxiety, noise, and stress, while also seeking to understand whether one can truly ignore the presence of a prison when living in its shadow.
