At the occasion of the second transnational meeting, Greta organises a cine forum based on the film Purple Sea by Amel Alzakout & Khaled Abdulwahed on April the 10th at 14h in lycée Simone Weil – Le Puy-en-Velay.
“Made from images filmed by the Syrian artist Amel Alzakout after the boat on which she was fleeing Syria sank off the coast of Lesbos, Purple Sea reports on the moment in which the co-director and the other passengers are floating in the sea in their lifejackets, waiting to be rescued. Her voice-over accompanies this extremely poignant experience.“
The screening will be followed by testimonials and workshops:
- a film analysis with Jacques Besson
- a lively debate led by young people in civic service
- testimonies of asylum seekers and a discussion on engagement with the local solidarity association La Loco.
What role can the cinema, whether fiction or documentary, play in helping us to understand the world changes and to become aware and responsible citizens?
