Twenty years of personal recordings form a raw journey from Damascus to Denmark. Daro agrees to an engagement to protect her family, but ends up trapped in a forced and abusive marriage. After fleeing abroad, the war in Syria erupts in 2011, leading her to engage in the refugee crisis and confront her past.
For over 50 years, Numakage, a suburban Tokyo public pool, has been a meeting point for elders, families, and gay cruising communities. Facing demolition despite local opposition, the film traces collective grief through Kübler-Ross’s five stages, questioning loss usually reserved for human death.
For two centuries, Chorrojumo, once known as the “King of the Gypsies”, has wandered the streets of Granada in silence. The limbo he inhabits is interrupted by the arrival of Anas, a young Moroccan man searching for his ancestors’ home; together, they begin a quest through the ruins of a city in transformation.
Lucía Selva’s feature film debut portrays a Granada where different timelines converge, an exploration through a wandering of the streets that blurs the line between myth and reality. Following its world premiere at the CPH:DOX festival, the film was honoured with a Special Jury Mention in the NEXT:WAVE section.
The screening on Wednesday the 13th will be followed by the “Gentrificació i cinema: la ciutat en disputa” activity.
Three video tapes of life in Gaza from 2001 were recently rediscovered. What started as a search for a former prison mate from 1989, led to an unexpected road trip from the north to the south of Gaza with Hasan, a local guide whose fate remains unknown. A cinematic reflection on memory, loss and the passage of time, capturing a Gaza of the past and lives that may never be found again.
Following the success of A Fidai Film (2024), Kamal Aljafari premiered his newest work, which stands as an essential historical testimony, at the 2025 Locarno Film Festival – International Competition.

The screening on Sunday the 10th will feature a presentation by Llibreria Finestres Palestina, with Olivia Watson and Júlia Pastor.
The screening on Tuesday the 12th will be followed by the Focus on Gaza activity.
