Refugee Film Workshops

Dear Supporters,

I realise that we have not written in a while, and that some of you, who might not have been able to come and see the films at the screenings in fact maybe haven’t even seen the result of what you supported. It hit me this morning, I am SO SORRY about this!!!! We have not made them «public» yet as we were hoping to screen them in more festivals. And in fact, after THIS HUMAN WORLD, we had another special screening at ZagrebDocs, which we are VERY happy about.

So, for now, I will post the links to the clips, and I hope you enjoy them, we will also post them on facebook in the coming days. There is more news I would like to share with you, but we will do this in a separate news-email, but I can tell you already, the workshops have been fruitful :-)

With lots of love,

Sepp, Anabel, the crew & kids

Dear friends & supporters,

First some organisational things: There has been a change in the pick up address of your festival passes, posters, bags, etc, it can now be picked up, from the festival center, Margaretenstrasse 22 in Vienna.

Then – it has been long overdue, an update on our proceedings, and I can tell you with proud that we have been moving forward tremendously :-) Yesterday the THIS HUMAN WORLD film festival had its grand opening in the wonderful Gartenbau cinema in Vienna and it opened with the OFFICIAL FESTIVAL TRAILER that has been produced during our workshops by and with «our» refugee kids. We are truly proud beyond belief and want to share it with you here:

Then, we have been in the news, two of our most talented kids, Fatima & Ali have been interviewed during the opening, it is just in German, but it will give you an impression:

Last but not least, we are still making FILMS, 3 are finished, 2 more are still in post production, they can be seen on the 11th of December at 5pm in Vienna’s Schikaneder cinema.

PLEASE DO COME, we would love to see all of you there, and again would like to thank you all so much for making all this happen, because that’s what you did, nothing of this would have happened without your contribution, help and support. We are humbled and honoured by your trust, THANK YOU!!!

Sepp, Anabel, Ehsan & Amir

Dear supporters & friends,

WE MADE IT!!!

WE, that is YOU and US together, we cannot tell you how happy we are, how honoured and thankful. We promise to use the money the best we can to make this workshop and we also hope to build something sustainable, to continue this next year on a more professional and regular level, in 2016 we would like to add 2 more groups an Arab speaking group and a women’s/girls’ group. But for now we focus on the present.

THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYBODY, you have really encouraged us in our work! We take a deep bow.

Sepp, Anabel, Ehsan and Amir

Liebe Unterstützer und Freunde.

WE MADE IT!!!

Wir, dass seid Ihr und wir, wir können es wirklich kaum sagen wie glücklich, geehrt und dankbar wir sind. Wir versprechen das Geld so weise und effektiv wie nur möglich zu nutzen und wir hoffen das Projekt auch nächstes Jahr nicht nur fortführen, sondern auch ausbauen zu können: 2016 würden wir gerne 2 Gruppen hinzufügen, eine arabisch sprechende Gruppe und eine Frauen/Mädchengruppe. Aber für jetzt konzentrieren wir uns mal auf die Gegenwart.

VIELEN VIELEN DANK EUCH ALLEN, Ihr habt uns sehr in dieser Arbeit ermutigt! Wir verbeugen uns.

Sepp, Anabel, Ehsan und Amir

Ali is not only a participant of our workshops, he obviously has many other talents too. He and his sister Fatima (15) came alone from Afghanistan and live now in Traiskirchen refugee camp. They are core members of our group and we are very honoured and incredibly happy to been given the opportunity to get to know them and to be able to work with them :-)

Please keep supporting us, we only have one week left and still need 2000 Euros, please give, share, like, link, etc etc

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

All of us

Last Thursday we had Day 1 of our workshops in Traiskirchen.

It was a great start, a wonderful group of kids came and we all got to know each other. We are extremely excited and are looking forward to continue this week.

And we broke through the 500.- benchmark :-)

Keep it going, you are GREAT!!!

Tomorrow we will introduce the team :-)

THANK YOU ALL!
