Copenhagen Underground presents Kurdish Lens with Filmhuis Cavia on 14 December. Kurdish Lens is a program of four short documentaries from four independent Kurdish filmmakers whose stories depict the Kurdish struggle in thematic forms of resistance and art.




The entrance is on a donation basis with 100% of the proceeds being given to the Kurdish Red Crescent, to assist individuals and families who are in need of medical support and shelter after the Turkish invasion of Rojava and its continued occupation and aggression.

If you cannot make it to the screening and would like to support Rojava, we highly encourage you to make a donation of any kind.

PROGRAM:

Qelershk (Raven)
Shukri Mahmood | 21'

Evan: A Survivor’s Story
Rafiqfuad Yarahmadi | 2018 | UK/Koerdistan | 18'

After fleeing Kurdistan from ISIS as a journalist covering the Peshmarga front lines, this documentary (created and also directed by his translator) shows the difficulties of today’s asylum seeking process and the stress it bears on families who are kept apart by borders and unjust immigration practices.

Nu Jin (New Life)
Veysi Altay | 2015 | Koerdistan | 48'

Nu Jin is centered around a YPJ battalion in Kobane and tells the stories of the everyday women who have dedicated their lives wholly to revolution.
