The Fig and The Olive?
A film by Georgina Asfour, Palestine 2011
When we hear the stories of our grandparents, the topics get mixed together – imagination, reality, love, politics, struggle and dreams.
Sometimes reality is more incredulous that the imagination, and the dream becomes a way to survive.
Out of Frame
A film by Riham Al-Ghazali, Palestine, 2012
Ibaa and Rihaf are two Gazan young women who grew up dreaming of a society in which they can be part of its hopes and aspirations.
But the two of them clash head-on with a reality harder and more cruel than that had imagined and end up feeling ‘outside the frame’.
HUSH!?
A film by Zeina Ramadan, Palestine 2013
Lamia is a girl facing social pressure to be a ‘perfect girl’, which translates into marriage, children and silence ….as if there are no other options for a girl. Anything other than that will lead to scandal and dishonor.
The constant criticism of everything she does added to the constant scrutiny in a male dominant society makes things even worse for a girl whose only wish is to have a small quiet room of her own where hope exists.
Girls and The Sea
A film by Taghreed El-Azza, Palestine 2010
Three young Palestinian girls want to go to the beach after one of them wins a prize to stay at a hotel by the sea. They plan their trip with great enthusiasm. But they have to overcome several obstacles before they can accomplish what they want., In the end they manage to make their dream come true.
