Video: I'm a European Roma Woman
The 4-minute spot, produced for International Women’s Day 2009, features flashes of the personal history of five Roma human rights activists from all over Europe along with footage from Roma settlements across the continent. In these times of crisis, as social cohesion is greatly endangered by the multiplication of acts of extreme violence against Roma in Hungary and elsewhere, the campaign exhorts the public to respect Roma in all their complexity.
A 30- second Hungarian version of the spot is being screened from 6th to 10th March 2009 on hundreds of public screens across Hungary.
Activists featuring in the spot:
Isabela Mihalache from Romania is Senior Program Manager at Open Society Institute (OSI)’s Roma Initiatives department, Budapest
Violeta Naydenova from Bulgaria is program coordinator at OSI’s Roma Initiatives department, Budapest
Ostalinda Maya Ovalle from Spain is the Head of Women’s Rights Unit, European Roma Rights Centre, Budapest
Alina Covaci from Romania is program officer at OSI’s Public Health Program department, Budapest
Katalin Bársony from Hungary is a film director. She is currently the editor in chief of Mundi Romani at Duna Television Hungary
The 5 young Roma women got acquainted throughout years of common action and participation in the International Roma Movement.
The Roma Woman campaign spot was directed by Csaba Farkas, Katalin Bársony and Péter Kohut. Thanks to the co-operation of a devoted team, production and post-production took three days all in all. Music and lyrics for the video were created especially for the campaign.
