Moving Worlds: Cinemas of Migration
Moving Worlds: Cinemas of Migration returns with a diverse and contemporary programme of documentary and drama films from Austria, France, Germany, Spain, the UK, and the USA and is running 8–11 December 2010.
This collaboration between FOMACS (Forum on Migration and Communication), EUNIC (European Union National Institutes of Culture), and the IFI includes a selection of masterclasses, workshops, and special events with filmmakers and digital media practitioners – a festival whose focus on migration is as timely as it is distinctive.
Themes at the forefront of the programme include: migrant youth identities and cultures; intergenerational family relationships; local responses to the arrival of refugees in a small town; daily encounters between frontline service providers and asylum seekers; the lived tensions between secular and religious identities; individuals undertaking perilous journeys in pursuit of a better life for themselves and the families left behind.
The programme also includes a series of workshops with film directors, actors, writers and community activists, building on content from the films and introducing parallel learning strands throughout the festival. Full details are available on the online catalogue at www.fomacs.org
Tickets are available from IFI Box Office, 6 Eustace Street Temple Bar, Dublin 2, by calling (01) 679 3477 or at www.ifi.ie
