THE CITIES I LIVE IN 

United Kingdom // 2022 // 11 mins 

Newly settled in Belfast, a filmmaker tells his infant twins about his life journey. They see him leaving one violent place for another, longing for places that he will never see again, and hoping they will not carry his curse. Troubled cities travel as fragmented memories in this short film about a man searching for stillness. 

Director: Rabie Mustapha  

Producer: Michael Hewitt  

Director filmography: The Actor (2018) 

NIGHT

Night brings peace and sleep to all the people in the broken town. Only the eyes of the mother of the missing child stay resilient. Night must trick her into sleeping to save her soul. 

Director: Ahmad Saleh  

Producer: Fabian Driehorst 

THE PLACE THAT IS OURS

A daughter returns to her father’s village in Palestine, which was destroyed in 1948. She journeys through unfamiliar landscapes and is confronted with the reality of her own exile.

GO HOME 

United Kingdom// 2021 // 14 mins 

When a Palestinian woman claims asylum in the UK, she faces the indifference of British bureaucracy and the disillusionment of an asylum officer on the verge of leaving the country for good.
