Building bridges through the arts

Support our Projects

We are Roma Media Film Productions and our cinematographic projects aim to build bridges through the arts between the Roma peoples and their host communities.

Fighting predjudice through the medium of film, our projects entertain as well as educate, brining together the two communities in the common love of cinema.

So, who are the Roma?

One of the most persecuted minorities in Europe, indeed the world, often referred to as the Silent Victims of the Holocaust, the Roma are a collection of peoples who used to and some still do - lead a nomadic lifestyle through all the continent of Europe.

Known for their music, dance and craftsmanship, many negative stereotypes have been attributed to them which are still current today.

With a vote and a voice...

The most high profile person of Roma extraction is Nikolas Sarkozys ex wife Cecilia, however there are a number of Romanies and people of Romany extraction in the corridors of power throughout the continent.

Parties

From MEPs to local councillors, the Roma Parties often make up parts of larger lists, and reresent Roma issues within those lists.
