The UCSB Migration Initiative, housed at the Orfalea Center and in partnership with the Carsey-Wolf Center, is organizing a one-day film festival on Tuesday, April 7 (week 2 of the spring quarter). This event is presented in collaboration with the United Nations Association Film Festival (UNAFF), one of the oldest documentary film festivals in the United States.
This marks the first time that UCSB will host the UNAFF Traveling Film Festival.
The topic of our one-day film festival is Refugee Migration. We will have screenings at the McCune Conference Room (6020 HSSB) throughout the day:
- 10:00–11:30 am: 2 short films (Radio Dabaab, CAFWA), with a regional focus on East Africa (Kenya, Uganda); Q&A with UCSB's Chris Jenkins, director of CAFWA.
- 1:00–2:30 pm: 3 short films (This Being Human, Ahmad Alive, and Who Killed Shireen), with a regional focus on the Middle East (Palestine, Israel, Iraq).
- 3:00–4:30 pm: a full-length documentary (Soufra) on Lebanon.
The festival will culminate with the screening at the Pollock Theater:
- 7:00–9:00 pm: a full-length documentary, The Burning (Algeria, Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinela, Libya, France, Mali, Morocco, Nigeria, Spain, USA), followed by a Q&A with film director Isabella Alexander-Nathani. Please click here for more information.
We are grateful for the partnership with the Carsey-Wolf Center in hosting The Burning.
Please join us on April 7! We are so looking forward to seeing you at the film festival.
