Re: [Videolib] Title suggestion for 'African diaspora in Europe'
Hi I assume you're including North Africans? Docs Europlex Investigates the daily, sometimes illicit migration, across borders between Morocco and Spain- a rare intersection of the first and third worlds. Paying off officials to look the other way, workers smuggle contraband across the border, sometimes crossing up to 11 times a day. In a now common scenario, Moroccan woman work in North Africa to produce goods destined for the European market, even as domestics commute into a Spanish enclave in Moroccan territory. A videotape by Ursula Biemann and Angela Sanders. c2003. 20 min. Women Make Movies Out They Go; One-way ticket to Ghana Peter Ekwiri, a Ugandan, is only one of many people whose applications for asylum in the E.U. have been denied. And like many other blacks from Africa considered "undesirable" by European governments such as Sweden and Germany, he was forcibly deported, but not to his home country. This program uses Ekwiri's case as a springboard to reveal a corrupt system in which E.U. police and immigration authorities clandestinely pay Ghana to act as a transfer point, in reality a dumping ground, for black deportees. And life in Ghana usually means years of imprisonment and an obscure death. The program also investigates other similar cases while exploring the statistical implications of European racial bias against black Africans. 2001. 59 min. Films Media Group. The People Next Door Chinese, Arabs, Jews, Algerians, Tunisians, Africans, and French live together in the Belleville neighborhood of Paris. Traditionally a melting pot of all races, this piece examines the nuances of racism, spoken and not, in a community that exists by circumstances, not choice. A Film by Patrick Zachmann. 10 min.

A young couple, both of Arabic descent, leave Paris with no money, jobs, or connections, and travel to their ancestral home of Algeria. In search of re-connecting to their roots, they cross three countries by foot, bus, train, and hitched rides. 104 min. Le Gone du Chaaba (France, 1997) Director, Christophe Ruggia. Cast: Bouzid Negnoug, Mohamed Fellag, Nabil Ghalem. Set in 1956 France in a city slum outside of Lyons, a poor Algerian father wants his son to be the best in school, although the boy is not very gifted. 105 min. Inch'Allah Dimanche (Algeria, France, 2001) Director, Yamina Benguigui. Film about the "family reunion," the French government's euphemism for a 1974 law allowing Algerian wives to rejoin their husbands working in France. Strong-willed Zouina parts tearfully from her mother in the port of Algiers; once in France, she and her three small children are at the mercy of her mother-in-law and confused by the strange customs of their local grocer and garden-obsessed neighbor. The radio is her only window on life and on the women of this new country. 98 min. A Little Bit of Freedom (Kleine Freiheit) (Germany, 2003) Director, Yüksel Yavuz.

Re: [Videolib] Title suggestion for 'African diaspora in Europe'
A little broad. There are a fair number of Algerians in France movies. One recent release which I imagine will be on DVD any day is Kaurismaki's LE HAVRE which would work. One excellent film is not technically Europe by geography but dead on the topic is JAMES JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM about African emigres in Israel. Very underrated film. I am only thinking fiction features here.
