Lichtblick-Kino

The Refugees Film Festival (RFF) is born due to the necessity to highlight the enormous drama of the crisis of millions of people in the XXI century who must leave their homes searching for a better life or only escaping from death.

Through a selection of films from all across the globe, the RFF aims to raise awareness of common persons who had changed radically their way and place of living in a desperate bid for freedom or only to survive.

Ranging from blockbusters to independent films, the program aspires to shed light on their situation and contexts, their fears, losses, hopes, successes and their despair, courage and resilience.

The line-up also includes stories of resilience and hope, population under war, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), racial persecutions against native Americans, genocides against minorities, etc.

The RFF includes productions made with and by refugees in their new lives in the cities or places of temporary settlement. The RFF also features special guests from the films, including filmmakers, actors and protagonists.
