Panelists: Amel Alzakout, director and Khaled Abdulwahed, co-director PURPLE SEA; Wissam Tanios, director, and Milad Khawam, protagonist in WE ARE FROM THERE
This panel discussion will highlight the position of a filmmaker on the questions of flight and migration and the influence that these topics have on the filmmaking process. Taking two documentary films as a starting point (PURPLE SEA and WE ARE FROM THERE), these five issues will be tackled:
· The decision to flee
· The flight journey
· Arriving in a new country
· Acceptance in a foreign country
· Integration in the new found home
The discussion will be broadcast live on facebook on the 28th of April 2021 at 5 pm CET.
