As part of our document: Archive Screening series we are proud to present:
*Border* Laura Waddington, France-UK, 2004, 27 mins.
In 2002, Laura Waddington spent months in the fields around Sangatte Red
Cross camp, France with Afghan and Iraqi refugees, who were trying to cross
the channel tunnel to England. Filmed at night with a small video camera,
the figures lit only by the distant car headlights on the motorways. Border
is a personal account of the refugees plight and the police violence that
followed the campís closure.

*The Eye of the Needle*, ******Jonas Soderqvist, Sweden 2005, 57 mins.
The Eye of the Needle takes a close look at the Swedish, and European,
migration policies and the living situation for refugees in Europe coming
from troubled areas all over the world. The film captures the daily life of
four people, all marked by the order of the New Europe:
· a young man hiding Asylum Seekers from the authorities
· an official at the Swedish Migration Board whose job is to decide
who gets to stay and who is thrown out
· a young Bosnian woman living underground, hiding from the Swedish
police, trying to avoid deportation
· a young Macedonian man waiting for his asylum application to come
through
We have filmed their lives for two and a half years in order to capture
their respective realities. We are trying to understand the system by
looking at how it marks administrative officials as well as refugees seeking
help.******
