Shadow Game screening

Doors open at 20:00. Shadow Game screening starts at 20:30.

About the film: Everyday teenagers who have fled their war-torn countries try to cross Europe’s borders in search of protection and a better life. They travel through a shadow world we never see: a world of minefields, bears, fast-flowing rivers, smugglers and border guards. ‘The game’ is the bitterly ironic term for crossing borders that has become commonplace among these young refugees. Risking their lives, the teenagers undertake a treacherous journey that often takes months or even years. Along the way, they grow up fast. Shadow Game is a journey through the dark side of Europe with teenage refugees as our guides. Shadow Game is a transmedia project by Eefje Blankevoort and Els van Driel. It consists of a feature-length documentary, a web series, an adventure game and a photo series in collaboration with Cigdem Yuksel.

The proceeds of this screening will go to No Name Kitchen (NNK), a grassroots organisation committed to defending the rights of people on the move across European border countries. For more information on NoNameKitchen you can also watch: What (the hell) is No Name Kitchen?
