Recommend this film

The first shot of the film establishes its agenda: the arrival of the Indian elephant god in the streets of Paris. The elephant god – a symbol of power and wisdom – is a well-chosen metaphor for the clash of foreign cultures that is part of the daily life of the CAFDA, a municipal reception centre for asylum seeking families. For both sides must show power and wisdom – the social workers who are constantly at risk of collapsing under the sheer number of new arrivals, and the asylum seekers who are forced to comply with an administrative logic that must seem as alien and incomprehensible to them as life on the moon. They come from the Congo, Chechnya, Sri Lanka or Ethiopia. They come with or without documents or luggage, brought in by immigrant smuggler gangs or have entered the Schengen area with a tourist visa. Observing both sides’ predicaments with sympathy and understanding, the film accompanies the CAFDA’s Sisyphus work and offers an authentic picture of persecution, political oppression and human misery outside Europe. “You will feel good in France”, an employee calms an excited mother, “there is no war here.” One would like to see this attitude in the German aliens departments who proudly point out the sinking number of asylum seekers in the country.

Single Shot Indonesia

Single Shot Indonesia

I mere end ti år, vender den hollandske filminstruktør Leonard Retel Helmrich tilbage til sine bedsteforældres hjemland, for at iagttage og filme de tumultagtige hastige ændringer i de år, af den økonomiske og kulturelle globalisering i Indonesien. Dafilms portalen viser nu alle tre film fra hans berømte dokumentarfilm trilogi (herunder den sidste del – Position among the Stars). På baggrund af spændinger i det indonesiske samfund, udfolder der sig, foran Helmrichs kamera, livet af Shamsudinns familien, der i slumkvartererne i Jakarta oplever sin hverdagshistorie om deres daglige arbejde og bekymringer, kærlighed og gensidig fjendtlighed. I ugen fra 21. maj kan I se de første to film fra trilogien -The Eye of the Day og Shape of the Moon gratis.

Østlige forjættelse

Østlige forjættelse

I denne uge tilbydes Dafilms portalens tilskuere en god portion europæisk eksotisme. Rundvisningen på det karakteristiske landskab i Østeuropa bliver formidlet til tilskuere i tre bemærkelsesværdige dokumentarfilm. Selv om filmene „Shutka Book of Records“, „The Mosquito Problem“, „Bahrtalo“ fortæller historier om mennesker, der for det meste er temmelige fattige, skal man ikke forvente tunge sociale dramaer. Man kan nemlig have et lykkeligt liv også uden penge!
