FILMS SHOWN
Where Motion Has Not Yet Ceased
Having found refuge from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in Prague, two women and their young daughters face the expectation and hope of an imminent return to Ukraine.
Vibrations from Gaza
Vibrations from Gaza delves into the lives of deaf children in Gaza, who witness the violence of Israeli military operations. Amani, Musa, Israa and others share their poignant memories of bombings, drones and collapsing buildings. The film also questions the origin of their deafness: natural or caused by Israeli sonic weapons.
Boat People

Suddenly TV
During a demonstration in Khartoum, a group of young Sudanese create an imaginary TV channel to meet other revolutionaries.
