Introducing 'Shorts We Love,' a very special collection of our favorite films we've had the joy of screening throughout the past year. These are the stories that stayed with us, the ones we couldn't wait to share again.
Join Samir in Strawberry as his simple yearning for the sea takes him on an unexpected journey. Feel the quiet liberation in Warsha as a construction worker finds freedom in his isolated world. Dive into Cairo's streets with A Resident of the City, experiencing its bittersweet realities through the eyes and voices of its dogs. In White Winged Horse, witness a man's haunting return to his war-torn home, where memories and ghosts intertwine. Finally, let Mama touch your heart with its powerful exploration of family love, sacrifice, and the impact of illness.
These films represent the diverse, impactful voices we cherish. We hope you love them as much as we do.
