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. |

Rising costs and falling supports, an inability to get work is leading many to leave the cities and head back to the country areas where shanty villages are springing up. Going full circle from the 1930's, the youth in these areas are going without education or interaction with the regular societies. |
Racial Attacks : From Hungary to Russia racial attacks both as assaults and muders are happening right across Europe. We hope to bring there to light here through our blog. Its not all bad news : Many found work in Ireland and the UK after the boom years started. As with the natives of those nations and other east bloc states, many are now unemloyed again as the market has crashed, however, they now face getting a job based on their skills as opposed to their skin colour. Their children are guarenteed a fair education, and its up to them to make the best of it. They are masters of their own destiny. .
