Awards and Screenings

2010 has been a good year for Belonging. The project concept and outputs are in demand from a number of organisations, ranging from governments, institutions, academia, to NGOs.

Twenty two months after the first screening launch of the films from London, Lisbon and Paris (December 2008) and the different local, national and international screenings and presentations (see Key events above, Belonging continues to attract interest -- at local, national and international level.

Awards and special recognitions

1. Following the nomination of seven Belonging films, two of them received an award from the UN Alliance of Civilisation film competition Plural + in December 2009. This also led to an article in the French magazine Respect Mag.

2. Cities of Migrations – the project has been selected by this initiative (from the Maytree Foundation, Canada) as one of 100 good ideas on integration.

3. Three Belonging films have been selected for special showcase of 12 European films, at the International documentary festival IDFA in Amsterdam, November 2010. This special showcase, called DOC NEXT focuses on the next generation of film-makers. It is a joint project between IDFA and the European Cultural Foundation.  It is anticipated that one or two young people from the Belonging project will attend the festival and a special day of discussions.
