Films and documentaries are often about subjects that speak to the social consciousness of its audience. These are stories taken from real life that stimulate the audience to look outside of their own bubble. Migrant cinema also does this. Which role can this genre play in raising awareness about migration and refugees? This will be discussed during the first edition of Bubble Breaker.
The program starts with a screening of the short movie Gifts from Babylon. Director Bas Ackermann and leading actor Christoper Tijan Smith, will discuss the movie. Smith plays a refugee, but after the movie was shot, he became a refugee himself. After the film screening, the creative director of Movies Matter Margje de Jong and film teacher Dr. Emiel Martens will join to discuss migrant cinema.
