Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! Migration, immigration and loss of identity told through 2 very different documentaries. Dear Home Office takes a critical look at the bureaucracy and inhumanity infecting UK policy, through the struggles of recent asylum seekers. The Last Shelter weaves a poetical tale of temporary refuge set in Mali - the resting point for many migrants making their uncertain way into Europe."

A event held at The Cube on Wednesday 9th November. The event starts at 19:30.
A double bill screening of documentaries focussing on migration from two perspectives: The Last Shelter and Dear Home Office.
The Last Shelter dir Oussmane Samasekou
Deep in Mali, on the edge of the Sahel Desert, lies the peaceful city of Gao a stop off, for those with their eyes set on Europe in hopes of finding opportunity, safety, and a better future. An emotional portrait of a place of temporary safety, where tired travellers can seek respite from a journey into the unknown. As migration continues to flow from countries south of Mali like Burkina Faso, Togo, and Benin, they can find support before continuing on into Algeria, Spain and beyond. A uniquely beautiful and humane film about the loss of ‘home’ once you have made the decision to leave.
Dear Home Office (produced by Subject to Scrutiny) shines a light on the UK asylum system through the lived experience of recent asylum seekers and refugees, using filmmaking as a critical tool to scrutinise the UK asylum system itself.
This film is a collaborative project between Migration Mobilities Bristol, University of Bristol and Bristol Refugee Rights.
This screening will be followed by a Q&A with Irene Elizabeth - Bristol Refugee Rights, Alice Cutler ex-director of Bristol Refugee Rights & Nariman Massoumi - filmmaker and University of Bristol lecturer
