Letters to A.

Synopsis

Idiot or genius, Arthur, homeless outsider spends most of his days in the book shop. Ironically the "idiot" has a knowledge of the world of music and film far greater than any random customer in that shop. Everyone is running around the vanity fair of the huge shopping mall, while Arthur hides behind book stores reading and learning stories from the world.
The modern alien, whom everyone calls an idiot, lives in the outskirt of reality but it seems that the world around is incapable of embracing his wisdom. He wanders around the modern jungle city, trying to find his humanity which everyday is taken away from him. He is attacked or humiliated to what he responds with the most eloquent language learnt from books.
A portrait of a man who chooses to be free on the streets, and has no place where he belongs.

Journals Journals

Director: Victoria Davis

Year: 2021

Several people wander between dream and memory searching for the ones they lost. Interwoven destinies bring us an intimate and moving answer to this question. By fulfilling their innermost dreams and connecting with the ones they love. What happens to the ones we love after their death? Can we bring them back? Can we keep them alive through our memories? Or perhaps by placing them in an imaginary afterlife world? Journals explores the question of the existence and afterlife in its various imaginative forms and visions around the world. It is about the parallel life that we can dream of, but cannot touch.

Allies in Exile 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.
