However, most agents wait in vain. Places in the Generation program are limited. Considered that qual- ity productions are rather rare and sales agents, producers and distributors already face problems to keep this business prosperous, the Berlinale’s policy puts a certain pressure on the children’s film circuit. In countries with a strong national market for children’s films, Adam Graham, Director of new UK based media education company Ant Creative, festivals might feel its consequen- ces.

Harrow and Carmela Garritano 5 Rates of Exchange Human Trafficking and the Global Marketplace Leshu Torchin Introduction1 Since 1992, the world has witnessed significant geopolitical shifts that have exacer- bated border permeability. The fall of the “iron curtain” in Eastern Europe and the consolidation of the transnational constitutional order of the European Union have facilitated transnational movement and given rise to fears of an encroaching Eastern threat, seen in the Polish plumber of a UKIP2 fever dream. Meanwhile, global business and economic expansion, granted renewed strength through enhance- ments in communication and transportation technologies as well as trade policies implemented through international financial institutions, have increased demand for overseas resources of labor, goods, and services. This is not so much a new phenomenon, as a rapidly accelerating one. In the wake of these changes, there has been a resurgence of human trafficking films, many of which readily tap into the gendered and racialized aspects of the changing social landscape (Andrjasevic, 2007; Brown et al., 2010). The popular genre film, Taken (Pierre Morel, France, 2008) for instance, invokes the multiple anxieties in a story of a young American girl who visits Paris only to be kidnapped by Albanian mobsters and auctioned off to Arab sheiks before she is rescued by her renegade, one-time CIA agent father.

First and foremost, infinite gratitude to three of the most generous people I know: Dirk De Wit, Sam Eggermont, and Pieter Leenknegt. For hospitality, encouragement, friendship and laughs. Many thanks to my supervisors, Prof. Arjen van Witteloostuijn and Prof. Annick Schramme, for four years of moral support, reading, and discussion, on a topic which I know was not part of your day-to- day interests. Annick was the first to think of me as a PhD candidate, and to give me the call that kick- started everything. Arjen followed up by arranging a meeting and convincing me to take the leap. The four years that followed seemed like an unlikely endeavor, but together we made it work.
