Document 11: Refugee Survival Trust Making it Home
Sat 19 October 2013
The only dedicated international human rights documentary festival in Scotland returns for its eleventh outing with a host of exciting screenings, panels, workshops, music and events. Taking place at CCA from Fri 18 to Sun 20 October, this year's programme focuses on reflection and tension between the past and present.
A screening of four extraordinary short films created by refugee and asylum seeking women from Maryhill Integration Network, and with local women from Pilton (Edinburgh) in response to acclaimed poems about "home".
The "Making it Home" project saw participants build bridges of friendship and dialogue by sharing their experiences of home, homelessness, disempowerment and hope.
Representatives from the project will facilitate questions and discussions following the screenings.
Co-ordinated by the Refugee Survival Trust in partnership with Media Co-op, Women Supporting Women (PCHP, Maryhill Integration Network, Scottish Poetry Library and University of Edinburgh. Funded by Creative Scotland.
