Crowtrap
Synopsis
A film that gives voice to the anxiety and rage unleashed by Brexit Britain. With fire as the film’s central metaphor, artist Callum Hill welds together stories real and fictional, personal and political, to dwell on the contradictory impulse to destroy in the hope of progress. (Rotterdam brochure)

The Road to Jericho
Director: Amos Gitai
Year: 2026
Traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, where Rabin's first agreement covered Gaza and Jericho, we find Khan El Ahmar, a Bedouin hamlet of 300 people. Recent demolition threats contradict what Rabin would have wanted. A musical and visual journey, a poem in images – a hybrid of documentary and fiction that weaves archival images from earlier films, with the voices of Samuel Fuller, Jeanne Moreau, Arthur Miller, and Yitzhak Rabin, among others, into the contemporary reality of the Bedouins of Khan El Ahmar, now threatened with eviction by settlers on this road to Jericho. A poignant, sensitive meditation on human destinies on this desert land, steeped in history. Official Selection Venice International Film Festival 2026 - World premiere
