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. |

While the end of communism brought great freedom to the citizens of the East Bloc nations, for all its faults the end of the communist system showed its benefits and belief in equality. Today, all over Eastern Europe, the worst aspects as reguard Roma rights remain from education to healthcare, while the better ones such as social support have fallen. A generation has grown up not knowing what it is like to work as when work got scarse Roma were the first to be let go, and find it very hard to get work. |
Education: In schools to this day, in some east bloc countries most notoriusly Slovakia, the secial schools are still in vogue. This leads to a large drop out rate which is counter productive, and only adds to the pproblems there is already. Sterilisation: By and large that policy has stopped in the East bloc, though cases for compensation have met with little success. .
