48 Hour Film Project - refugee character
September 24, 2015
The 48 Hour Film Project is an international film competition where filmmakers make a short film within 48 hours based on some random elements they hear friday evening. In Utrecht 2015 one of the elements that had to be in the film was a refugee. The teams had to incoorporate some kind of refugee charcater in their film.
Result:
- quote from one of the participating filmmakers:
"This is the movie that i always wanted to make, but i only found out after i did it"
- several films made it to the national media
"In a global world i lost my country.
My country lost me.
I am dependent on your generosity.
At least for now.
May be, you can help me to
Find back my strength
See who I am,
I just arrived."
