Stranger in ParadiseDir. Guido Hendrikx | 72min | 2016 | M18 (Sexual scenes) Part social experiment, part classroom exercise, Stranger in Paradise is a brutal look at the realities that confront new migrants to Europe. Led by actor Valentin Dhaenens, a group of real life migrants go through three scenarios in a classroom setting, where they are taken through Europe’s perspective on the economical impact of their presence, differing ideologies towards immigration, and ultimately a selection process that will determine who will be able to stay in the Netherlands. Dhaenens is sympathetic and forbidding in turns, while the hopeful migrants earnestly share stories of their flight from home. The result is a stripped down, powerful essay on the vulnerability of those who have made the journey to seek ‘Paradise’, their dreams clashing against a reality that ruthlessly categorises and assesses their lives. · Nominated – CPH:DOX, DOX Award 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0bLceA0T14Screened with Skin of PalestineDir.
