Among other things, her work includes a book and exhibition project of the Dachau Concentration Camp, as well as a photographic project in co-operation with "Escape to the Front" on unaccompanied young refugees in Germany.
Leona Goldstein published an impressive multimedia project as a result of a six-month research fellowship on flight and migration in West Africa, France and Germany. It presents three photo-essays on the refugees in front of and within the "Fortress of Europe", as well as two documentary films: Au clair de la lune ... analyzes the causes that lead people in Burkina Faso, the Ivory Coast and Mali to escape to Europe and Le Heim documents the everyday life of isolation and uncertainty awaiting refugees in Europe.
In 2009, she took part in the Masterclass "Documentary for Human Rights and New Media" of the EU-MEDIA program. In 2011 she attended the Masterclass "Filmmakers Positioning Themselves" as part of the Berlinale Talent Campus. In the same year she also held lectures at the University of Kabul in photography and journalism.
