Interview with Carolina del Olmo.

Espacio del inmigrante is a self-managed space created by and for migrants. A space for gathering, reflection, and action. Drawing on “migrant" knowledge and putting forward their own racialised bodies, its members seek to generate new forms of resistance, empowerment and defense of migrant persons as political subjects.

Workshop with Andrea Cavalletti and Marcello Tarì. La Base - barcelona 3 - 4 de November 2016.

Entrevista with Houria Bouteldja.

Chronicles of the journey of refugees through Hungary, Croatia, and Serbia September 2015. Migration flows have been part of human experience throughout history. In 2014, almost 55 million people were forced to leave their homes in the face of war, persecution, and human rights violations: the highest figure since the end of World War II (1). According to the 2015 CEAR Report (2), 22,500 people have lost their lives in the Mediterranean during the migration process over the past fifteen years. These statistics are interpreted through biased and ethno-centric analyses that construct migrants as a potentially dangerous “other”. In The Walls of Europe we talk to different actors involved in the border zone between Serbia and Croatia, in the biggest human exodus that Europe has seen for decades. An exodus that reveals the dark side of the big NGOs and of the security and military forces of receiving countries, and the racism and xenophobia of Europe's governments.

Moi, un Noir. Reloaded, is a tribute to Jean Rouch and provides a free update / re-interpretation of Moi, un Noir, the film the French anthropologist made in 1957. While the original film was satisfying the eager curiosity of the western gaze about otherness from the safe distance of a film, Reloaded minimizes cultural differences and avoids the exotic. Under these assumptions, the film plunges into the daily lives of the characters, into their thoughts and reflections on their experiences as black, Muslim and immigrant subjects.

In a bid to reach a better life, hundreds of Moroccan kids sneak into Melilla, a Spanish enclave in the north of Morocco. This is the story of Said, a deaf Moroccan boy stuck in this Spanish portion of Africa, awed by a false sense of prosperity, tries to jump into one of the many boats that will take him to the peninsula and eventually to the fulfillment of his European dream.

The cycle From the Imagined to the Tangible, proposes to present abstract ideas that help us to reflect on the reality where we live, immediate, concrete and material. Toni Serra, co-director of the OVNI Archives presents different pieces of the more than 2000 that this audiovisual archive has gathered over 21 years, offering us an uncomfortable vision of the century where we live, but also the dreams and desires of societies that do not see each other reflected in the imaginary of corporate media. Museum of World Cultures, Barcelona. 4th October 2016.

Tarajal: Dismantling Impunity on the Southern Border is a documentary research project by the production company Metromuster, which previously produced the influential activist documentary Ciutat Morta. It has been commissioned by Observatori DESC, which is collaborating in the research process. Tarajal is based on statements from migration experts, journalists, lawyers, police spokespersons, and activists, as well as official declarations from the Interior Ministry, edited together to reveal the many contradictions in the accounts of the events leading to the death of 15 migrants at Tarajal. Above all, it suggests that the events may not have simply been a matter of police negligence, but part of a strategy designed for the application of migration control policies.
