Refugee Week 2025 is bringing story sharing to the forefront this June with their new film programme, sharing voices from the refugee communities. As part of the programme TEAM Collective Cymru and Porters Cardiff will be hosting a film night to show some of these brilliant movies and moviemakers putting community at the heart of their work.

Note* while the bar in Porters will be serving alcohol, the film screening room will be kept alcohol free to ensure the comfort for all of our audience.

Please note* There is currently no access lift to the theatre/basement.

Burnt Milk

'Burnt Milk is a film named after the common Caribbean dessert made by boiling condensed milk until it’s caramelized. In the film, this dessert is one of the few comforts afforded to Una, an alienated and isolated Jamaican midwife living in the United Kingdom.'

The Scent of a Geranium

'By using her own experience as an Iranian international student in the U.S., Farzaneh gives voice to the fears, doubts, and complex range of emotions that immigrants face and makes a powerful call for a more compassionate approach.'

Life is Beautiful

'Exiled above the arctic circle in Norway and refusing to accept the boundaries imposed by international politics & rigid bureaucracy, Palestinian filmmaker Mohamed Jabaly insists on telling heartfelt stories from his hometown Gaza.

Despite his statelessness and having only limited connection to his family abroad, he manages to channel support from friends and his own creativity, adhering to his motto LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. And throughout it all, he fights for his rights with integrity, community, and a smile for the world.'
