BFI Southbank will look at the effects of displacement, refuge and migration with Refuge In Films 2010, a two-day festival (staged between 19th and 20th June 2010) marking Refugee Week presented by Refugee Youth and New Generation.
The festival will include Ajami (2009), “a powerful crime drama” set in a tough Jaffa neighbourhood, populated with Jews, Arabs and Christians, which was directed by Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani, as well as the UK premiere of Lixin Fan’s award-winning documentary Last Train Home (2009).
Interactive workshops and discussions will explore issues of being a refugee.
The festival is produced by young Londoners originating from over 25 different countries who come together to curate, make films, lead discussions and host creative workshops.
In addition to the key feature films, Refuge In Films present shorts and documentary films, as well as a selection of short films produced by young refugees working with professional filmmakers.
