migrations and illegal people films 19.00 Jennifer Lyons-Reid, Carl Kuddell: Holiday Camp Jennifer Lyons-Reid, Carl Kuddell: Holiday Camp This is the documentary about Australia’s refugee politics. The film is focused on the turn that changed treatment of the refugees, turn that could be described as a journey from the social policy to crime policy. Film is screened in over 250 festivals. Majid Majidi: Olympics in the Camp Some kids in a refugee camp in Afghanistan gather the bullet-shells and change the battlefield into a playing field for eternal friendship in the hope of a future with no war and no violence. Majid Majidi: Barefoot to Heart The film first relates the journey of Afghans refugees fleeing the bombing and war around Herat and other cities to take refuge in ill-equipped camps. It witnesses the struggle of families having lost everything and attempting to secure a minimal life. In the aftermath of the fall of the Talibans, the film explores the city of Herat where it captures the reactions of the city dwellers expressing their memories and their hopes. Forgotten in the nearby camp of Mashlakh (Slaughterhouse) 150,000 displaced Afghans hardly survive. Majid Majidi interviews peasants, soldiers, youngsters, women, elderly and gives a special attention to the children's extraordinary resilience as they are confronted with the emotional and physical turmoil of war. Sarah Vos: Campus Vught – Welcome to Holland In the asylum seeker camp Vught we are following the story of the social workers to which the system assigns the role of the watchers. Sunday, November 21 11.00 Helga Tawil, Zala Volcic: Not going there, don't belong here Helga Tawil, Zala Volcic: Not going there, don't belong here This is the film about Palestinians in Lebanon and about their temporary life that is lasting for 50 years. Ironically, because of their status of refugees they still do not have right to buy land or to work in certain professions. Line Halvorsen: A Stone's Throw Away The film follows three Palestinian boys from Dheisheh refugee camp on the outskirts of Bethlehem. The children are growing up under Israeli occupation. The film is exclusively told through the children’s point of view and provides an intimate insight into their thoughts and lives, raising questions about how children are influenced by the conditions in which they live. Ingrid Bosma & Job Groenewegen: Sheltered Life The filmmakers had opened their lens onto the lives of the refugees in the Ingushetia camp. Ingushetia camp is an assembly of tents in which people build, as best they can, a society that is no longer in any way temporary. 19.00 Davor Konjikušic: Erased Davor Konjikušic: Erased The erased is a story of 18,305 people who lost all their citizens rights over night: ID cards, driving licenses, passports. Over night their marriages, children, companies, jobs and lives were erased from the paper. They no longer existed for the state. The film follows the stories of the erased, and their struggle for basic human rights in Slovenia. Megan Mylan, Jon Shenk: Lost Boys of Sudan The film observes the experiences and impressions of two boys from Sudan who were brought to the United States as part of a resettlement program that took place in 2001. The film tracks their passage from Kakuma camp in Kenya to the United States. The film communicates both an idea of what Sudan is like in their memories of home, the differences between the lives they lead in Africa and their new lives in the United States, and the simple homesickness and frustration that comes with being transplanted to a totally foreign country. Joakim Demmer: Tarifa Traffic The wind surfers sail across the clear blue sea and the first tourists
are taking their places in the deck chairs. Only a few steps away a dead
body is being tossed up on the shore by crashing waves. They come when
there is a full moon and a smooth sea. These are the nights of the „pateras“,
the motorboats that try to cross the Strait of Gibraltar in the dark.
