Invasion of Lampedusa by Olly Lambert
(Documentary, Ronachan Films for BBC2, 2011)
How a crisis on a tiny island in the middle of the Mediterranean is changing the face of immigration in Europe. Spring 2011, in the wake of the uprisings across the Arab world, the Italian island of Lampedusa, just 70 miles from the African coast, has seen the arrival of over 40,000 migrants from Tunisia and Libya.
This film charts how, within weeks, its small migrant reception centre is overflowing, and the island's tourist economy faces meltdown. The islanders openly revolt, blockading the small port and riot in the streets. Local mayor Bernadino de Rubeis makes desperate attempts to keep everyone calm, with limited results.
Only the arrival of beleaguered president Silvio Berlusconi seems to solve the problem, but his solutions are short-lived - weeks later, thousands more Libyans are arriving seeking asylum, prompting panic in Brussels, the closing of European borders and the possible collapse of the EU's celebrated Schengen Agreement.

The Loop is a topical personal drama that plunges headlong into a nightmarish world that revolves around Lox, a deprived 17-year-old boy. As Lox drifts around the concrete plains of his London estate, he talks candidly to camera sharing with the viewer in-depth details of his life - all whilst trying to a accommodate the rage growing inside him as another day slips away.

The Italian island of Lampedusa lies in the center of the Mediterranean, halfway between Africa and Europe. Thousands arrive here every year in wooden fishing boats from Libya hoping to make it to Europe. For some the island is a symbol of hope and possibility but for others its shores hold unimaginable nightmares. The filmmaker meets a group of teenage survivors who are trying to make sense of their incredible journeys.
