About the Film:
Welcome to Vienna, a city in the heart of Europe that four young men want to call home. Fawad, Marwand, Najib and Samim - supported by debut director Lucy Ashton - film themselves as they try to establish their lives, navigate growing up between cultures, and grapple with the complexities of a duplicitous, and sometimes mistrustful, Europe. Together they experience Austria’s acceptance of Fawad and Samim, and rejection of Marwand and Najib - who hide, and ultimately flee. While navigating the tricky relationship between their cameras and their stories, the young men weave a powerful tale of friendship and hope.
Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to talk to Wasil Faizi, who worked on the film with the protagonists as a mentor and translator.
Educational Preview. Admission is free.
The screening is part of the Online-Lecture Series „Border Regimes on the Move - On the Reorganization of Europe, Migration and Labor Ten Years after the Summer of Migration“
