Lights, Camera, Conversation: A Film Screening and Night with the Director and Cast of ‘FROM HERE’.
UC Davis Global Affairs and City of Davis Arts & Cultural Affairs presents an unforgettable evening at the Davis Veterans Memorial Theatre. Join us for a free film screening of the documentary ‘FROM HERE’, a coming-of-age portrait of young people caught in the crosshairs of immigration debates on both sides of the Atlantic.
We are honored to be able to host the film’s director, Christina Antonakos-Wallace, as well as two of the film’s protagonists at the event for Q&A after the film. We invite you to join us before and after the film for an interactive activity. Refreshments will be served.
More about the film:
FROM HERE is a hopeful story of four artists and activists based in Berlin and New York whose lives and futures hang in the balance of immigration and integration debates. As the U.S. and Europe grapple with rising nationalism and movements against increasing diversity, FROM HERE offers a fresh and different perspective to the issues of immigration and belonging. The film is an intimate yet epic look at the stories of four children of immigrants Tania, Miman, Sonny, and Akim, as they move from their 20s into their 30s and face major turning points in their lives: fighting for citizenship, starting families and finding room for creative expression.
Doors open at 6:30 pm and the film will begin at 7 pm. Refreshments will be served.
