The final films of the 2012 Multicultural Refugee Film Series will be shown tonight at 6:30 PM !
Come see two short films about Bhutan:
Eviction
"The son of American aid workers, U.S. filmmaker Grady Walker spent most of his childhood in Kathmandu. Later, as a film school graduate, he decided to come back to Nepal and introduce the world to refugees from Bhutan, whose stories he had grown up with. His documentary 'Eviction' sweeps from the camps of Jhapa, eastern Nepal, to New York City."
- From an Interview in the Press of the UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR)
Building Cultural Bridges: Bhutan - Nepal - Portland
"Building Cultural Bridges is the culmination of a year-long community project to make a film about the experience of coming to America. Covering the cultural and spiritual realities of transition through community dialogues, interviews with immigration service stakeholders, teachers and volunteers, the film provides insight into the transition to life in Portland, OR. The film was made by youth from the Bhutanese refugee community, and edited in collaboration with members of B media Collective. While the film is made through the culturally specific lens of South Asian refugee immigrants, the issues raised and advice given is relevant to all newcomers to America."
