In My Country I Canât... In ReFOCUS I Can
⨠Imagine being told you canât follow your dreams because of where you were born. At ReFOCUS, weâre changing that for talented individuals seeking safety in Europe.
đ¸ Since 2017, ReFOCUS has been providing training and opportunities for media artists, many of whom came as refugees, to build professional careers in the media world.
đđť This transformation has been made possible by the generosity of individuals like YOU, making a real impact in the lives of those who need it most. Our three media labs in Lesvos, Athens, and Berlin, along with our partner programs, are living proof of whatâs possible when we support one another.

Major gratitude to our amazing teachng-artist and mentor Myriam Rey @mimsrey for developing such an amazing course on video poetry. All our students, like Melek, were able to create these films because of her thoughtful, caring and dedicated guidance. We're blessed to have her as an artistic leader in our community! And we can't' wait to see the next crop of amazing films coming out of her current course.

We have asked SuperTitle participants, about a feminist idea that is relevant in their lives and a feminist movement, achievement or a feminist woman they consider fundamental in their country.
In their replies, intuitions and inspirations, we can see that feminism is a shared practice, is a thinking, is political.
"SUPER-TITLE: Unlocking the superpower of women subtitling films for social inclusionâ is a project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Small Scale Partnership programme in the field of adult education. The project is carried out by CinematograFica in partnership with SudTitles and Refocus Media Labs .
