Other Screenings

There have been amazing examples of human solidarity in the current crisis, but not for everyone. Migrants, refugees, and minority groups have experienced increasing and worse discrimination than ever before and a decrease in their already precarious conditions. How can immigrants, who are one-third of the world's population, be included as part of our local communities and how can we stop seeing them as a threat or a burden?

Dir.: Ai WeiweiGermany 2017140 minutesEnglish, Arabic, FarsiHebrew subtitles

Tens of millions of immigrants roam the world, escaping warzones, poverty and famine, trying to ensure a better future for themselves and their families. Masterful Chinese artist Ai Weiwei embarks on a global journey to document this phenomenon. From the shores of Europe to the US/Mexican border, Weiwi moves between different viewpoints: from shots capturing the beauty of the human flow to that of the immigrants themselves. Human Flow is an intimate and humane portrait of the great migration of humankind.
