BSFF – Migration Pathways

  • 01/05/2026 | 12 PM – 2 PM | Flagey 5

(OV ST FR / EN)

The Mediterranean fascinates with its light and endless landscapes. But it is also a mirror of powerful and perilous human journeys. Here, BSFF presents a selection that examines the realities of migration, exploring resilience, memory, and dignity. The screening will be followed by a debate moderated by experts on the subject.

 

The screening will be followed by a discussion led by Convivial, an organization that supports more than 2,000 refugee families each year in settling in Belgium (access to social rights, housing, etc.) and in building their long-term integration (training, socio-professional guidance, and social connections). Accredited as a Reception Office for Newcomers (BAPA) in Brussels, Convivial also informs and raises public awareness about the realities faced by refugees in Belgium.
