BORDER POLITICS IN THE BATTLE FOR SEMICONDUCTOR  SUPREMACY Investigates how global power, economic coercion, and border politics shape the production of critical technologies. Through the lens of ASML, Mapper Lithography, and the entangled interests of the state governments of the US, Europe, China, and Russia, the film traces the invisible infrastructures, legal instruments, and corporate government networks that govern the movement of knowledge, labor, and control, revealing how sovereignty and technological supremacy are contested on and across borders.




                              
                                                               


The film is an assemblage of extensive research, archival news

footage, legal documents, 3D environmental reconstructions,

and conceptual storytelling. It is framed around an exclusive

interview with a scientist drawn into the forced takeover of

Mapper by ASML under the direction of the Dutch and US

governments.
