directed by Anna Brass, fl. 2009; produced by Anna Brass, fl. 2009, Hochschule fur Fernsehen und Film Munchen (London, England: Royal Anthropological Institute, 2013), 1 hour 19 mins
When entering the EU for the first time, a refugee must submit an application for asylum. So much is clear. Less well known, however is the fact that for 90% of all refugees, the Aegean is the gateway to Europe. So what does this mean for Greece?

When entering the EU for the first time, a refugee must submit an application for asylum. So much is clear. Less well known, however is the fact that for 90% of all refugees, the Aegean is the gateway to Europe. So what does this mean for Greece? Every aspect of the Greek Asylum system is so overstrained that it has effectively collapsed. No one is allowed to remain in Greece, and yet, according to the EU no one may leave. The Authorities are extremely harsh to those attempting to exit the country. ‘Leaving Greece’ tells the very personal story of three Afghan refugees: Hossein, Reza and Kaka, who have tried for years to break this vicious circle. A film about friendship – and the contradictory European refugee policy

The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. In the next 120 years, a city will become the focus of the world every 4 years. The Olympics represent not merely a high level competitive field, but also a grand affair that allows athletes from different countries to communicate, reflects the spirit of the Olympics and symbolizes peace. The 100-plus-year old Olympics, nonetheless, were forced to be cancelled three times in history. These three “Missing Olympics” were 1916 Berlin Olympics, 1940 Tokyo Olympics and 1944 London Olympics. Why were they canceled? Were they related to politics? Let us discover the obscure story behind these cancellations.

This classic, widely acclaimed film on the Jie of Uganda, produced by the renowned ethnographic filmmaking team of David and Judith MacDougall, examines the effects of nation building in pre-Amin Uganda on the seminomadic, pastoral Jie. Much more than an intrinsically interesting historical document, it has achieved classic status among ethnographic films owing to its remarkable success in developing a coherent analytical statement about its subjects' situation, yet at the same time allowing them to speak for themselves about the world as they see and experience it. The film explores life in a traditional Jie homestead during a harsh dry season. The talk and work of adults go on, but there is also hardship and worry, exacerbated by government policies that seem to attack rather than support the values and economic base of Jie society. A mother counts her children; among them is a son she hardly knows who has joined the educated bureaucracy. Later we find him supervising famine relief for his own people in a situation that seems far beyond his control. At the end of the film Logoth, the protector of the homestead, travels to the west to rejoin his herds in an area of relative plenty; at least for the time being his life seems free from official interference.
