On Lightness features five short films whose central characters are able to showcase a certain dose of absurdity in the face of adversity. This series dares to flirt with comic relief and dabbles in the absurd, punctuating a certain persistence on bliss, song, and dance – additional tools in our arsenal to ward off naysayers and different forces of oppression.

Followed by a film talk with Basma Alsharif (director of Capital).
