Identity, notions of nationality and of borders, bring together these eclectic shorts by Arab-British directors, looking to explore questions of identity, faith, gender and everything in between.
Key to these films – and ever-pertinent today – are reflections on how the decisions and actions of older generations have impacted on younger generations today. From questions of exile to the notion of belonging. For acceptance to pride.
