Cast: Mohammed Nader, Yousef Zai, Pacha Syed Language: Dari og Pashto
Room 205 is a short documentary portraying three Afghan Asylum seekers who live together in the same room in Avnstrup Asylum Center. It shows one day in their room and portrays life in the Danish asylum system. An essential aspect of the film is time, and the everyday experiences of being in a waiting position in the asylum center which can create pacification and powerlessness. The visual language is static and it attempts to create an embodied experience of waiting time for the viewer. The film was shot during the spring of 2013 where the Danish Government deported many Afghan refugees to Afghanistan.
