Open-Air Cinema with a Debate: Stranger in Paradise

We invite you to a screening of the film Stranger in Paradise (2016) from this year's One World Festival, which will be followed by a debate on the topic of migration to Europe. The film focuses on questions often faced by immigrants coming to Europe: What do you really want from Europe? Is Europe just a paradise where you can freely pick its fruits? Belgian actor Valentijn Dhaenens, who plays the role of a mentor in the documentary, confronts them with various model reactions from Europeans to their arrival. The film explores issues such as who gets the chance to stay in Europe, on what criteria these decisions are based, and how complex the mechanisms are that determine entry into this "paradise."

The screening is on Wednesday, August 21st from 7:30pm in the inner block of Institute of International Relations. It will be introduced by Daan Huisinga, the Dutch Ambassador in Prague.

The debate features following participants:

• Jan Kovář, Director of Research, Institute of International Relations
• Vít Havelka, Senior Researcher, EUROPEUM
• Kateřina Velíšková, Analyst, Association for International Affairs
