Deadline: ongoing
Call for entries
There are currently more than 60 millions of refugees on the globe, people who left their home country in order to escape war, persecution and murder, but also the effects of the climate change, poverty and the lack of any perspectives.
The open call would like to get down to the human dimensions, since the refugees are human individuals who are forced to leave their home countries in order to get shelter, protection and perspectives for survival elsewhere. Do or did they find the “promissed land” – temporarily or for sure?
Currently, The Refugee Film Collection includes videos of about 70 artists, but would like to complete the number of 100 participants. It is, therefore, looking now for new artists & artvideos dealing with the topic of “refugees” to become part of “Refugee” Film Collection 4.0 – http://refugee.engad.org and its screenings in the framework of “The W:OW Project – We Are One World – http://wow.engad.org
Artists and video makers are invited to submit and spotlight this human dimension and the diversity of reasons and motivations to become a refugee.
