Borders and Crossings on Screen: La Mécanique Des Flux

Nathalie Loubeyre’s documentary La Mécanique des flux (2016, France) looks at the current migrant crisis, and the obstacles facing refugees and young migrants who wish to enter the European Union - borders, boundaries and bureaucracy, not to mention unwelcoming attitudes. A stark yet sensitive engagement with the greatest crisis of our times. The screening will be followed by an informal Q&A with the University of Glasgow experts on film and migrations and practitioners devoted to the topic of young people and migration, sharing experiences of filming migration and combating prejudice and anti-migrant attitudes. The film has English subtitles.
