REFUGE IN FILMS FESTIVAL AT THE BFI-SOUTH BANK

For the third year running, Nueva Generacion and RefugeeYouth present Refuge in Films festival at the BFI Southbank. Refuge in Films 09 is dedicated to raising awareness about refugee and migrant issues. This year the festival is being entirely developed by a group of young people. By giving a voice to young refugees, the festival will address issues of representation of refugees and migrants in the film industry and will be a space of celebration, contributing to a more tolerant society.

The festival has been curated by a group of young people (19-25 years old) from New Generacion and RefugeeYouth that come from different
countries: Colombia, Somalia, Ethiopia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Eritrea, Zambia, D.R. Congo, Sudan, Rwanda, Palestine, Kosovo, Algeria, Angola, Guinea, Jamaica, Burundi, Bangladesh, U.S.A., France, Greece and England. Meeting weekly over three months to watch and discuss films from different angles, young people have created an amazing 3 day programme to be presented at the BFI in celebration of Refugee Week.
