Life In Limbo

Film Festival Curation

Short Documentary Collection

For this event we brought a curation of short films from, Refugee Art Project in Australia, to the UK. Partnering with T A P E Collective and London Migration Film Festival, the films were shown at the Ritzy Cinema in London, followed by a panel discussion with Melissa-Kelly Franklin (award-winning Australian writer and director of theatre and film), Sophie Lucas (Solicitor in the Public Law department at Duncan Lewis Solicitors), Jumanah Bawazir (researcher at Forensic Architecture as well as a multidisciplinary designer and poet) and Samin Saadat (an Iranian filmmaker and former refugee).

The 5 films reflect 5 points of view regarding the inhumane impacts of offshore refugee processing centres, the consequences of dispossession, incarceration and colonial power in the contemporary world. Explored through the lens of Australia's infamous refugee policies and the lived experience of those affected by it, these poignant, powerful and personal films resonate with current UK attitudes, foreshadowing the human impact of ‘stopping the boats’.
