Refugee Film Festival in Tokyo 2007
This event has ended.
At Goethe Institute Tokyo
Media: Film
Following the success of the first festival in 2006 the RFF will showcase a new lineup of award-winning features and documentary films. All films will be about the lives, trials, and triumphs of people forced to leave their homes as a result of persecution and war.
RFF, part of UNHCR's year round commitment to raising awareness of the plight of the world's 33 million refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), brings you stories of hope, despair, and resilience from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Featured films include a unique selection produced by Sudanese refugees in Kenya, a retrospective tribute to Cambodian filmmaker and former refugee Rithy Panh, and a spotlight on the remarkable life of Chiune Sugihara, Japan's consul to Lithuania who helped save the lives of thousands of Jewish refugees during the Holocaust.
Film screenings will be followed by discussions and Q&A.
