Jano Rosebiani
Iraq
93 min.
A young French-Kurdish woman meets two NYU Film students, guided by a Kurdish TV celebrity as they screen Charlie Chaplin films in remote villages, and a Kurdish journalist fighting for women's rights, ultimately bringing them together on a quest to find her mother's village, destroyed during the Anfal Genocide.
Atia Al-Daradji, Mohamed Al-Daradji
Iraq-UK
72 min.
In a 6 square meters room we meet 32 football crazed children with their eyes glued to the TV. Half of them cheer Real Madrid, the other half Barcelona. They live, sleep, eat and study in the same room of an orphanage set in the most dangerous district of Al Sadr City, in Baghdad. School and fights between the Americans and Militias, coupled with the threat that they will loose their home, is all just part of what it means to be an orphan in Iraq.
Leïla Kilani
Morocco-France
45 min.
In Tangier, Badia and Imane, two young Moroccan girls of around twenty, walk in line amongst an army of workers who fill up the city with their coming and going back and forth. They both work in a shrimp-packaging factory, a difficult and humiliating job, where the strong odor of shrimp seeps into the pores of their skin. Badia's hands are busy but her head is idle; she perfumes herself with lies to wash away the shrimp smell and pretends to be someone else. Badia can flap her wings as much as she likes. She'll never fly.
Mahmoud al Massad
Jordan-Holland
90 min.
Athens, 1983. The world press reports 4-year old Bashir is killed in the assassination of his father, a top PLO lieutenant. But what if death is not the end of his journey? What if he would come back to life today and would dig through his past and discover his future, only to witness the dream he and his father died for is becoming a nation turned against itself?
