For the project Refugee Strike & Beyond, five inhabitants of the protest camp at Oranienplatz and the filmmakers Llaima Sanfiorenzo and Simon Paetau realised five short films between January and April 2014. The protagonists, who came to Berlin from Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire via Lampedusa, developed and dramatised stories about first love, parties, the cold weather in the camp, belonging, mandatory residence, work and rebellion. Formally, the film productions range from documentaries to dramas and relate the realities of the young men in Berlin from different perspectives.
The screening is followed by a discussion in English and French with the participants.
