Co-presented by The Substation Moving Images and Migrant Voices Films
Migrant Voices is launching a new initiative to develop a centralized repository of films related to migrant workers and migration. The aim of the repository is to centralize the collection of such films so that they are more accessible, as well as to provide the platform to encourage more film makers to do works on or with migrant workers. We are also developing an in-house production team to make documentaries on migrant workers, migrant spaces and migration. The film festival is a platform for us to showcase these films.

Censorship creates a culture of dependency on the part of the public, timidity on the part of institutions, and impacts creative expression through self-censorship. Regulation on the other hand promotes responsibility and accountability, if applied consistently, clearly and transparently.
