Screening series
A collaboration between RISP 128, QISA & the Gender Centre
This series explores various forms of discrimination and marginalization based on sexuality and gender and shows ways taken by activists to fight back against stigma, exclusion, and violence. We start by looking at the situation of migrant sex workers in five European countries before moving on to the fight for equality undertaken by various LGBTQI+ activists in a range of different countries and on the global level.
Crossings: The stories of migrant sex workers (2018), produced by the International Committee on the Rights of Sex Workers in Europe (ICRSE)
Directed by Istvan Takacs Gabor and Peter Sarosi (40 min)
Crossings is a sex-worker produced documentary about the effects of criminalisation on migrant sex workers in Europe and the powerful ways of their resistance. The film tells the stories of five people in five European countries (Serbia, Macedonia, France, Spain, and Norway) who come from very diverse backgrounds but have something in common – all of them are migrants who sell sex.
The film screening will be followed by an informal discussion.
