AN AWARD winning film will be screened for free in York with a talk and exhibition to mark Refugee Week.

Calais Children: A Case to Answer tells the story of 2,000 children left when it was closed down, with many of them having a right to be in the UK.

Director Sue Clayton will present the film at 2.30pm on Wednesday, June 20, at at the Yorkshire Museum, and take part in a Q&A session to mark Refugee Week which runs until June 24.

There will also be a curator’s talk on the exhibition The Sea is the Limit currently on show at York Art Gallery on Wednesday from 12.30pm to 1pm.

Kirstie Blything, learning manager for York Museums Trust, said: “We are thrilled that Sue Clayton is able to join us for the screening of her film and we look forward to hearing how the film was made and some more about the stories she covered.

“Refugee Week is also the perfect time to come to York Art Gallery and see The Sea is the Limit, our major new exhibition about migration, refugees and national borders. If you come on Wednesday June 20 the curator of the show, Varvara Shavrova, will be on hand to discuss how the exhibition was put together and the themes which resonate throughout the exhibition.”
