The right to freedom of expression includes…twittering, and the Migratory Birds are getting ready to twitter at the Olympia Festival!
Last summer, when the Migratory Birds were busy preparing their second issue, two of our contributors – two teenage girls – together with other children residing in the refugee reception centre of Schisto, began building their own set, sometimes in the classrooms and other times in their containers, in order to produce their own animated film! They chose this medium as their way of expressing the difficulties faced by refugees and also the right of every child to be with its family.
Their story is about to embark on its first journey, to the Olympia International Film Festival where it will participate in the European Meeting of Youth Audiovisual Creation – Camera Zizanio! On Monday December 4th, “Birdsong” will be shown in the category “Films by Young Refugees” at the Ilia Regional Unit Conference Centre. See you there!
