• AT HOME IN THE WORLD (dir. Andreas Koefoed, 2015, 58 min) This film is an intimate depiction of the everyday lives of five refugee children on a Danish Red Cross asylum school. Over the course of a year, we follow the children in an ever-changing environment. It is hard to create bonds and friendships, and the tone is often harsh amongst the kids, as they all fight inner battles with traumatic events of their past. The film follows their attempt to learn a new language, create friendships and prepare to form a new home in Denmark. The screening will followed by a Q/A with the filmmaker via Skype. Co-sponsored by the Humanities Division, Lampert Institute, and Theater.
