Like a Spiral

Like a Spiral is a dialogue between Beirut and five women, migrant domestic workers, under the Kafala system. Expressing their belonging to a society in collapse, the women's voices rise through the film's grainy images to denounce their stolen freedom with an inalienable thirst for existence. Their memories dance in the rhythm of oppression. Caught within life's spiral, they lift themselves up to not sink into oblivion.

Murmuration

Murmuration presents Kanope's oceanic voyage, from Nigeria to Europe, within a beautifully rendered low-poly 3D world, which is steeped in magical realism. Narrated by young migrants and inspired by real-life stories, this gentle yet poignant tale weaves through the ocean's depths, blending hope with survival.
