Programme
Somewhere to Be
Somewhere to Be shows Sara on a hiking trip with her friends in Iran. Hanging out, posting pictures, having fun. But the group of friends slowly disappears. One by one, they leave Iran. And their online accounts vanish too: deleted by the Iranian regime. All evidence of them ever having existed is removed. How can Sara show anyone who she used to be?
My Homeland
My Homeland is an original take on the narrative of having to flee your country. In this anime, humans are replaced by cyborgs; this change of perspective allows us to experience the story as an action hero film that celebrates the courage of these heroes.
The Daughter of Both Women
“I hate my mom,” is the first thing Iona says in The Daughter of Both Women. We get to experience her teen life through her teen diary and old home videos. The diary is read out to us in short, intense sentences. Iona has lots of questions, but none of them seem to get answered.
Simply Divine
Simply Divine is a love story about a young couple who meet, fall in love and have to part soon after. How long would you wait for the one that got away?
