We present the first guerrilla-videogame of Bordergames.org. We have installed ourselves in the capital of Rif, Alhucemas, preparing the first self-financed videogames seen on these grounds.

Alhucemas, formerly Villa Sanjurjo, is an spanish ex-colony, which was product of the spanish invasion and was destroyed by an earthquake in 2005. Capital of Rif, independent, submitted by different parties, poor like rats, fishermen, smugglers and patera-passengers. Possibly, it is one of the places that never appears in the tourist-guidebooks on Morocco. It is a place linked to Spain by language, history, the TV-stations rtve and telecinco, where the pateras form part of the everyday life. The other side of the mirror of capitalism, the other side of the estrecho ...

This is the context where we will work on a new version of Bordergames, a new version in the self-declared guerrilla format. There is no external founding and I do not think there will ever be. Everything has to be done from zero and we are going to work without the support or localization of any institutions. We are going to work! The idea is to develop a project with a strong political load (beware of the morroccan cops) but also create continuity, starting from the beginning, as well as in programming as in the working group.

For us it has been 30 hours of travelling, boat, bus, taxis, tapas, border-crossing, five inspections by the police, an incredible movie of football-kung-fu in a no less incredible bus station of Nador at midnight (surely a city not to recommend at that time...)

By these postings we will tell you day to day about the working process with the kids in Al-Hoceima, if the mixed up keys on the computers allow us...
