Europe Trap is a film depicting the true struggle of a refugee. A close-up of Zakereh, a 55-year-old mother trying to reunite with her son, who is trapped in Greece. Through her eyes we shall witness her struggle against herself and society; a struggle as hard as the previous one she faced during wartime in Afghanistan. Zakereh fled Afghanistan many years ago. She escaped from war but she found misery and hostility. First in Iran, as a widow, with one child and without any rights, and later on, by crossing without papers many borders until she arrived in Europe. Once in Europe, at Athens airport she lost her son Omid and arrived alone in Spain without knowing where she was. Now she is suffering from culture shock, trying to fit in in another world where she doesn’t belong and dealing every day with a strange reality, with all her sadness and pain. The intimate portrait of an Afghan woman, who first became a widow and then a refugee. A testimony of the incomprehension of a new world and the situation she has to deal with now – a war as hard as the previous one, in the Europe Trap. A documentary about exile, loneliness, and the ghosts of war.  

Since Kyrgyzstan gained its Independence in 1991, there has been a revival of the ancient practice of Ala-Kachuu, which translates roughly as “grab and run”. More than half Kyrgyz women are married after being kidnapped by the men who become their husbands. Some escaped after violent ordeals, but most are persuaded to stay by tradition and fear of scandal. Although the practice is said to have its root in nomadic customs, the tradition remains at odds with modern Kyrgyzstan. Ala-Kachuu was outlawed during Soviet era and remains illegal under the kyrgyz criminal code, but the law has rarely been enforced to protect women from this violent practice.

Sin Papeles tells the story of the of a hunger strike staged by migrant workers, without papers (sin papeles), in a small church in Barcelona by bringing together a sound recording of its climax made in March 2001 and film footage of the location shot four years later to the day. The subjective account of the event made by the artist in the form of a sub-titled narration is a process of personal reflection de-objectifying the subject of migration for the purpose of work, displacement and social order. The film is a reflection on the implications and realities of the aspects of the EU project that have created a fortress of Europe.

Life in an Immigration Detention Centre is not life at all, it is waiting. Waiting and fear. Fear of deportation, fear of losing your direction while your life is limited to the four walls of the cell, fear of a future that could surely not be worse. The testimonies of former inmates of the Immigrant Detention Centre (CIE) at Zona Franca, Barcelona, offer us a glimpse of the reality of these illegal, covert prisons.
