Welcome to Bijou Films. We are a new project based in the UK making cross-cultural documentary film productions. Our films will be of use in both formal and informal educational contexts, and will also appeal to a general audience of inquiring minds.

Through collaborating with individuals and small groups in the making of our films, we aim to explore the experience of people living on the many different margins of society and to bring their perspectives to a wider audience in order to dispel myths, counter stereotypes, and give an insight into the complexity of cultural identities.

Our founding project, My Life As A Refugee, is now available on VHS.

You will also find free downloadable educational resources on this site which can be used in conjunction with
My Life As A Refugee.
