Human Rights Watch is delighted to be screening two wonderful refugee-related films at our festival this year. Flyers attached and details below. Hope to see some of you there! [Moderator's note: Please see all details below.]
Evaporating Borders (Exclusive preview) + Q & A with filmmaker
A visual essay in five parts, Evaporating Borders is told through a series of vignettes that explore the lives of asylum seekers and political refugees on the island of Cyprus. Cyprus is one of the easiest points of entry into Europe. Through the microcosm of the current situation in Cyprus, the film explores tolerance and immigration practices throughout Europe and the Western world-where migrating populations have become subject to a variety of human rights abuses. The film looks at what it means to be displaced and examines the idea of belonging and notions of diaspora, exile, and migration.
Screening on 24 March, 18:30 at Barbican and 26 March, 18:30 at Ritzy Brixton

The Beekeeper (UK Premiere)
The Beekeeper relates the touching story of Ibrahim Gezer, a Kurdish beekeeper from southeast Turkey, and his unusual experience of integration into the seemingly conservative heart of today's Switzerland. The turmoil of the decades-long conflict between the Turkish state and the armed Kurdish guerrilla movement has left him only with his love for bees and his unshakeable faith in humanity. Displaced from his home and livelihood, the beekeeper discovers a new life in Switzerland.
Screening on 23 March, 16:00 at Barbican and 24 March, 18:15 at Ritzy Brixton
