We invite you to come to our film screening of 'Nasim'. The film is part of the KinoFest 2023.


Director: Arne Büttner, Ole Jacobs
2021, 123 minutes 

A documentary about refugees that addresses neither their journey to the country of refuge nor their integration. Instead, directors Arne Büttner and Ole Jacobs have made a film about stagnation: Nasim and her family are stranded on the island of Lesbos, at Moria refugee camp, which was still open in 2020. The directors observe the operation of the camp with a distant eye, concentrating on the everyday and inner life of the Afghan woman Nasim. Within the daily monotony, she develops an awareness of the opportunities that Europe will offer her – especially her rights as a woman. You can see the awakening of self-determination.
