Film Festivals

The Glasgow Refugee, Asylum and Migration Network (GRAMNet) has launched its 2010-2011 Film Series. A wide range of issues are addressed including "human trafficking, women’s struggles, child poverty, migration challenges, cultural conflicts and diversity, child soldiers, refugee communities, and Holocaust survivors’ stories." Monthly screenings will be held from October 2010 to June 2011.

The Australian Refugee Film Festival is now accepting entries for its 2011 festival. Submissions will be accepted until March 2011. Themes of particular interest include:
  • Environmental displacement due to climate change
  • The refugee journey and the obstacles associated with it
  • Personal triumph stories of refugees and asylum seekers
  • Documented work of local and international organisations with refugees and asylum seekers
