Rosa Lackroy | Live-Action | 20’00’’
After twenty-something Nora moves in with her boyfriend Jonah, the life he wants to build for them feels increasingly suffocating: the apartment doesn’t feel like hers, his family disapproves of her, and the future laid out before her doesn’t seem to fit. The film follows Nora as she floats through a cold and alienating city in search of a life of her own.
Adil Tahri | Documentary | 15’05’’
Between Father and Son follows a single father struggling to keep his son on the right path as the pull of the streets grows stronger and their bond fractures. When the situation reaches a breaking point, youth worker Hamid steps in, becoming an unexpected bridge between father and son.
