7 films in package

3350 KM

Father and daughter have been separated by 3,350 kilometres for seven years. He lives in Syria, she lives in exile in Paris. All they have left is to talk on the internet.

Beneath a Mother's Feet

A single mother in Morocco, trapped in a mundane existence, confronts her dreams and fears, leading to the agonising decision to forsake all she knows, even her children.

Go Back to the Sky

"A woman with upside-down vision must confront her dark past when corrective goggles flip her world right-side up."

Mango

During a hot August in Cairo, Nadia struggles to mourn her estranged father and his mango tree.

The Motherfucker's Birthday

Through dancing, the film shows the evil of the dictator and the horror people endure under powerful political leaders. Saddam dances, Bush dances, so what's left for the Iraqi people except to join in.

The Poem We Sang

The Poem We Sang is a deeply personal and fiercely nostalgic journey that delves into love, longing, the trauma of forced migration, and the loss of a family home in Palestine. The Poem We Sang transforms lifelong regrets into a healing journey of creative catharsis and bearing witness to generational grief and survival.

Water Of Life

Sema has to be evacuated from her house due to a landslide. However, she does not want to leave this house where her roots belong.
