Amina, the Confused Feelings / Kemo Sabe / Make a Wish
Amina, the Confused Feelings Salima Marie Laure Mokrani/ Algeria / France / Documentary / 2004 Amina, a young refugee of the Algerian civil war, confronts the realities of the exile experience when she returns to Algeria after a childhood spent in France. Kemo Sabe Rana Kazkaz / USA / Short Film / 2006 Yussef, a six-year old Arab-American boy, lives out the fantasies of the Wild West on the playground. Amidst the archetypal hierarchies of Cowboy and Indian, Yussef struggles to assert his territorial claim to Cowboy status, refusing typecasting as Indian. Yet, does Cowboy status deliver the dream? Make A Wish Cherien Dabis / Palestine / USA / Short Film / 2006 A young Palestinian girl will do whatever it takes to buy a birthday cake. What begins as a simple trip to the bakery turns into a journey that depicts not only the subtle tensions of a politically charged environment, but the grief that can result from growing up under occupation.
