Can I Go Home Now?
Synopsis
The film removes traditional narration, allowing only children's voices to shape its emotional and narrative architecture. Their testimonies unfold as a chorus of memory, loss, and fragile hope, transforming lived experience into a meditation on childhood under siege. Only Children's voices - no adults, no outside commentary, no mediation. The film's sonic landscape is shaped through an original symphonic score by Academy Award-winning composer A.R. Rahman and an original Ukrainian-language piece created with a Grammy-winning Ukrainian composer, extending the children's voices beyond image into sound. Through this union of image and music, the film resists commentary and invites the audience into an intimate, human encounter with a generation growing up inside conflict.

Hello You
Director: May Abdalla, Barry Gene Murphy
Year: 2026
Hello You is an autopsy of your reflection. This mirror has two sides: one that observes, and another that follows. Exploring stories of altered perception, from phantom limbs to the feeling of being a stranger in your own body, the experience stretches the split-second act of self-recognition into something you can watch unfold. Here you are asked not to look at yourself, but at the lenses through which you look.
