EUROVILLAGE

François Pirot, Belgium 2015, 71 Min., OV with English subs
Followed by a talk with

Eurovillage, a resort in the Belgian Ardennes, was converted in 2011 into a refugee reception center. The inhabitants living there indefinitely wait for the processing of their asylum application. "Wait and wait and wait and hope" - this statement by one of the women describes their everyday life aptly. The macabre ambivalence of the place highlights the plight of the refugees all the more: where others enjoy their free time, they are condemned to wait for their freedom.
