FRONT-ex – FORT EUROPE
Director: Paula Gepard
Narrative, Color, 20 min.
Germany 2014
English and German with German and English subtitles

XXX. 2015 Black International Cinema Berlin

The focus of this "tale" is the highly contested EU Agency entitled FRONTEX – which we would rather become FRONT-ex. The film portrays the motivation that forces human beings to leave their homes, the problems they meet on their way to Europe and at the border – caused mainly by European politics.

Der Fokus dieses "Märchens" liegt auf der höchst umstrittenen EU-Agentur FRONTEX – die wir lieber zu FRONT-ex werden ließen. Wir sprechen über die Gründe, die Menschen dazu zwingen, ihre Heimat zu verlassen, die Probleme, die ihnen auf ihrem Weg nach Europa und an der Grenze begegnen – hauptsächlich durch europäische Politik verursacht.
