VISIBLY INVISIBLE is a documentary film by Hannah Henckel and My Abrahamsen, based on three months of fieldwork with student activists at Columbia University in the fall of 2023. The film portrays how protests against the university administration escalate and how repression against the activists intensifies—coming from the university itself, the media, the police, and private actors. Techniques like doxxing are used to intimidate and delegitimize activists. To protect those involved, the filmmakers experiment with anonymization through reconstruction and animation. VISIBLY INVISIBLE explores the complexity of masked activism and highlights the many actors involved in shaping the escalation
