SHORTS II: Those Who Remain

Followed by a Film Talk with Dima Hamdan (director of Blood Like Water), Osama and Majd Hafiry (director and main actor of Amygdala) and Faris Alrjoob (director of The Red Sea Makes Me Wanna Cry).

Surviving war, losing a loved one, finding safety far from home or witnessing the suffering of others – these films tenderly explore the inner worlds of those who remain, when others can not. Amidst the tumult of grief, guilt, regret, and fear, remaining becomes an act of strength and resilience.
