Directed by emerging Chinese-Canadian filmmaker Betty Xie, The Home
Promised is a short documentary film that takes us to the heart of one
of the last "illegally-constructed" neighbourhoods in downtown Taipei,
soon to be torn down. With its earliest buildings dating back to the
Japanese colonial period, the neighbourhood was later settled by loyal
Kuomintang soldiers who fled mainland China after 1949, as well as
rural migrants who desired to find jobs in the city. Through its
architecture, people, history, and collective memory, the Shaoxing
neighbourhood is not only a reflection of Taipei's current growth and
urban history, but also a self-enclosed world within the city centre.
Shot with a distinct cinema verite style, The Home Promised centres on
Wang Chang-biao, the leader of the local residents' association, and
his struggles to help chart a permanent solution for the
neighbourhood. Juxtaposed with shots into the everyday life of the
residents, the film follows Wang through a visit to a potential
relocation site and heated citizens' meetings. It is during this
process of dealing with an uncertain future, that the residents begin
to see each other as part of a shared community. Candid and moving,
The Home Promised depicts the fight for relocation as an integral part
of community formation, calling into question where and why we belong.

Betty Xie is an emerging filmmaker who believes that extraordinary
stories are embedded in the everyday lives of ordinary people, and she
is on a life-long search for extraordinary/ordinary narratives.
Specifically, she is interested in themes of diaspora, migration, and
identity. Betty wrote and directed the fiction short Girlfriends,
which was screened at the 2013 Toronto Reel Asian International Film
Festival and the 2014 Reel World Film Festival. Her second film, The
Home Promised, premiered at the 2014 Toronto Reel Asian International
Film Festival, and is an official selection of CAAMFest 2015 in San
Francisco, the 2015 American Documentary Film Festival in Palm
Springs, and the 2015 Sunderland Short Film Festival in the UK.

Space is limited, registration required.

La Crise des réfugiés syriens
The Syrian Refugee Crisis
Panel discussion: The Syrian Refugee Crisis - Seeking Protection in
Dangerous Times
The Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies

October 5, 2015, 12 p.m. – 2 p.m.
Images and stories of Syrian children drowning off of the coast of
Turkey, in a desperate attempt to reach Europe, has captured the
world's attention, with demands that the international community and
Canada, do more to help refugees. The statistics are staggering.
Syrians now make up the largest refugee population in the world, while
millions of others remain internally displaced within Syrian's
borders. With no end in sight to the Syrian war, many expect the flows
of people trying to enter Europe will only grow. Many governments are
struggling to come up with a strategy to alleviate this crisis.

The Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies
(Concordia University), in collaboration avec Amnesty Canada
(francophone) and the Canadian Research Institute on Humanitarian
Crisis and Aid, is hosting a panel discussion on the ongoing global
refugee crisis.

Featured speakers
Béatrice Vaugrante, Director General, Amnistie internationale Canada
francophone
François Audet, Professor at the School of Management (ESG) of the
Université du Québec à Montréal and the scientific Director of the
Canadian Research Institute on Humanitarian Crisis and Aid (OCCAH)

Ambassadeur Mokhtar Lamani, former head of the Office of the UN-League
of Arab States Joint Special Representative for Syria in Damascus
Yaman Alqadri, Syrian refugee
This event is open to the public and is free, but registration is
strongly recommended.

La Crise des réfugiés syriens

A la recherche de protection dans des temps dangereux

Les images et récits d'enfants syriens se noyant sur les côtes de la
Turquie alors qu'ils tentent de rejoindre l'Europe, ont retenu
l'attention du monde. La communauté internationale et le Canada sont
sommés d'en faire plus pour les réfugiés. Les statistiques sont
impressionnantes. Les Syriens constituent la plus importante
population de réfugiés dans le monde, alors que des millions d'autres
sont déplacés à l'intérieur du pays. Ne voyant pas de fin à ce
conflit, beaucoup s'attendent à ce que le nombre de réfugiés essayant
d'entrer en Europe ne fasse qu'augmenter. Beaucoup de gouvernements
peinent à trouver une stratégie qui permettrait d'apaiser cette crise.

L'Institut Montréalais d'études sur le génocide et les droits de la
personne (Université Concordia), en collaboration avec Amnistie
internationale Canada francophone et l'Observatoire canadien sur les
crises et l'aide humanitaire, organise une discussion sur la crise de
réfugiés.
