UN CŒUR PERDU ET AUTRES RÊVES DE BEYROUTH France | 2023 | 36 min A film that plays with offscreen space by way of static but restless shots, reflecting surfaces that disclose other, intimate and public, spaces. These offer no hint whatsoever of the 2020 explosion in the port of Beirut, the political and financial […]

LLAMADAS DESDE MOSCÚ Germany, Cuba, Norway | 2023 | 60 min Holed up in a flat in Moscow, a group of young people spend their days making all kinds of calls: conversations with distant loved ones, counselling, announcements for migrants.

KADIB ABYAD Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt | 2023 | 97 min Moroccan filmmaker Asmae El Moudir departs from an absence to make a hybrid documentary that is at once a personal portrait and a deadpan inquisition into her country’s recent history.
