City of Borders
Fredag 13/11 kl. 14.30-17.00
After the screening of City of Borders, Amnesty International and Aarhus Filmfestival is conducting a seminar on the discrimination of homosexuals and LGBT rights in the Middle East.

Aarhus Filmfestival is screening the award winning City of Borders, which was recently screened at Copenhagen Gay & Lesbian Filmfestival.

The film portrays an unusual symbol of unity in Jerusalem that defies generations of segregation, violence and prejudice: a gay bar called Shushan. City of Borders goes inside this underground sanctuary where people of opposing nationalities, religions and sexual orientations create an island of peace in a land divided by war.

Following the screening a seminar debates the challenges that homosexuals in the area are experiencing, along with Amnesty International’s fight for LGBTrights.

Participating in the seminar:
Udi Nir
LGBT activist from Sministim, Our colors, IGY and Amnesty Israel in Israel

Mai
LGBT activist from ASUAT from the occupied Palestinian territories. Mai’s name is withheld for security reasons

Helle Jacobsen
Campaign Leader of Amnesty’s anti-discriminationcampaign
