ActiveVision Video Project in Tel Aviv
18.01.2009
Seeing Tel Aviv through the lens of refugee youth
Over the past few months, a video course was born and conducted, with the aim of putting the camera in the hands of refugee youth currently living in Tel Aviv
The ActiveVision Video Project: Asylum City has given the group the opportunity to document their own realities and tell their own stories, through material they wrote and imagined themselves. Such a project creates a sort of freedom within the medium of documentary.
The course was extremely successful and instructors were able to teach the importance of filmmaking and storytelling both in theory and in practice. As a result, some very interesting and important films were produced. The group thus also actively takes part in spreading the awareness of their own situation.
On Sunday January 18, the works created will be screened in the Shapira neighborhood, Tel Aviv. The general public is invited and warmly encouraged to experience the city through the eyes of young asylum seekers.
