The Last Passenger
Mounes Khammar
Short Film | Algeria | 2010 | 7 min.
A young man jumps from a cliff. Before leaving forever, his soul pays a visit to his two impossible loves: a woman and the stage of a concert hall.
My Name is Mohamed
Abdullah, Hassan, Shibab, Haddad
Short Film | Jordan | 2009 | 10 min.
Nine year old Iraqi refugee Mohamed dreams of being a regular kid and going to school. Instead he is a reluctant shoe shiner working the busy streets of Amman to earn enough money to buy his widowed mother's medicine and send his young sister Reem to school.
Him Himself
Pierre Dawalibi
Short Film | Lebanon | 2011 | 10 min.
A conflict as old as Adam; it is the cause of every war and every agony; it is the dualism between you and your own self, between your desires and your fears, what you want and what you must do. The film is a playful reflection upon the dilemma of what one is really doing to him/herself.
Transit Cities
Mohammad Hushki
Feature Film | Jordan | 2010 | 71 min.
Laila, a thirty something year old woman who is running away from a life of disconnection and emptiness abroad simply wants her old world back in Amman, Jordan, yet 14 years changed everything. Unannounced and uninvited Laila attempts to construct a new life, but her simple old town is now a complex entity, a city that is being torn apart by forces of religion from the right and globalization from the left. Can she survive in this new city...or will she have to go back where she came from? Yet if home is not there nor here, where is it?
