A Tale of Two Hippies

Stefan Archetti

Synopsis

Situated in the Mediterranean Sea off the east coast of mainland Spain, Ibiza forms part of the Balaeric Islands. It was first inhabited by the Phoenicians 3000 years ago. The most recent invaders were the Hippies in the 1960s and 70’s.

They made Ibiza their spiritual home and many settled on this bewitched rock. But what has become of them? Witness the unconventional lifestyles, through amusing, insightful and surreal mini adventures, of 67-year-old fashion designer/hippie Queen Mora and 73-year-old psychoanalyst/hippie Andrux. Two of the last Ibiza hippies.

Saverio and his seven-year-old brother Augusto have been living in a village in the Italian Alps with Uncle Fausto and Aunt Domenica since their parents died in a tragic car accident 4 years previously. Saverio has a strong spiritual bond with nature and is planning to spend part of his summer break in the high pastures to experience life as a shepherd and to learn how to make the local cheese. The unexpected arrival of Valentino, from the USA, after a forty-year absence gives the village gossips something to talk about and Saverio's adventures continue as the gentle community is thrust into turmoil when a baby mysteriously disappears.

Allies in Exile

Director: Hasan Kattan

Year: 2026

For 14 years, Syrian filmmakers Hasan Kattan and Fadi Al-Halabi have journeyed together through war and storytelling. Their bond was forged on the frontlines of revolution where their cameras recorded terror and hope, laughter and heartbreak – moments that defined a generation. Years later, their story takes an unexpected turn. Confined inside a UK asylum hotel, Hasan and Fadi document a new chapter shaped not by bombs, but by waiting, bureaucracy, and exile. Amid rising anti-refugee hostility, they turn the camera inward exploring friendship and displacement and how filming itself becomes an act of survival when the future is so uncertain.
