Refugee Week Film Programme
16 – 22 JUNE
This year, Counterpoints Arts and Other Cinemas – two organisations who work across intersections of racial justice, migration, and climate – have collaborated on a film programme for a community-powered week!
The programme, curated by Other Cinemas, consists of 5 shorts and 2 feature length films that explore the theme of #communityasasuperpower. From emergency responders in El Salvador supporting their communities in crisis to the familiar smell and taste of home to bring comfort, these films invite us to celebrate the diverse way we build and sustain our communities.
