How to Shoot a Ghost

Charlie Kaufman
Grece, USA / 2025 / 0:23:00

Two newly-dead ghosts walk the streets of Athens, among the pulsing cityscape and the ghosts of history. They were outsiders in life: he, a queer Lebanese translator; she a half-Irish photo- grapher. They wander the city together, finding consolation in the difficult beauty of life and its aftermath.

Yellow Liminal

Francesco Thérèse
Italy / 2025 / 0.08:29

For decades, Ruth has been waiting for the return of her twin sister, who left on a space mission. In a stream of thoughts suspended between memory, childhood, and absence, she recalls their secret game: whoever spots a yellow car first, wins. But in the silence of such a deep absence, the echo of that game turns into poetry, memory, and waiting.


 

 

Baadarane

Samah El Kadi
Lebanon / 2025 / 0:15:00

A young boy from Mount Lebanon grapples with his mother’s sudden death, questioning the foundation of his faith and whether God punishes or saves people. In a series of mischievous challenges spreading anarchy in his tight-knit village, he attempts to hear back from God, yet hears nothing. His growing frustrations turn sinister and violent, as he rejects the religious traditions that once shaped his life. In the absence of God’s response, he realizes the absurdity of the world around him. His rebellion spirals into darkness in this modern spin on the myth of Prometheus through the eyes of an eight-year-old Druz child from Baadarane.
