L' Audition
Que se passe-t-il lorsque votre avenir dépend de l’histoire de votre propre vie ? Quatre demandeurs d’asile déboutés revivent leur audition sur les motifs qui les ont poussés à fuir leur pays d’origine, mettant ainsi en lumière le principe même de la procédure d’asile. Ceux qui parviennent à raconter le danger qu’ils endurent dans leur pays d’origine ‘de manière crédible et sans contradiction’ ont plus de chances de recevoir l’asile. Les personnes interrogées parviendront-elles à décrire leurs souvenirs d’expériences traumatisantes de telle sorte à, cette fois-ci, répondre aux critères officiels? Une simple permutation des rôles renverse le rapport de force. Ici, la tendance s’inverse: les enquêteurs du SEM, eux-mêmes, répondent aux questions des demandeurs d’asile. De cette manière, The Hearing ne donne non seulement un aperçu de l’audition, mais remet également en question la procédure d’asile elle-même.

- Raising awareness through film screenings and TV broadcasts, the general public, the concerned authorities and their staff as well as law enforcement parties are to be made aware of the problems of the current asylum legislation and its implementation. There should be room for fundamental questions about the legitimacy of selection of asylum seekers, and for discussing the actual shortcomings of the asylum procedures.
- Concrete improvement measures on the part of the authorities. For example, the handling of traumatized asylum seekers in interviews should be drastically improved.
- Adapt the law / expand the concept of refugee: At the level of monitoring legislation and its equitable implementation, gender and other new reasons for flight such as global warming must be taken into account in defining a reason for flight that is relevant to asylum.
- Sensitizing young audiences to the problems of flight and asylum by having school screenings embedded in accompanying lessons on these themes.
- We want to encourage political organizations to organize pre-premieres with a combined film programme and discussions.
- We want to organize closed-door screenings with representatives and employees of the SEM, which will be accompanied by discussions with specialists in the field of trauma. We want to organize accompanied film screenings for parliamentarians in Switzerland and for UNHCR representatives.
- For the theatrical distribution we’re looking for cooperation with schools, especially through the association Kinokultur in der Schule, a Swiss organisations specialising in bringing films to schools with a combined educational program.
