All My Scars Vanish In The Wind

Among intrusive and sought-after memories, a woman hears a disconcerting call from the depths of her being: a cryptic cry for help, becoming intelligible as it guides her to the original wound, to her inner child, becoming her own protector.

(Country: Colombia; Year: 2022; Director: Carlos Velandia, Angélica Restrepo)

The Cities I Live In

Newly settled in Belfast, a filmmaker tells his infant twins about his life journey. They see him leaving one violent place for another, longing for places that he will never see again, and hoping they will not carry his curse. Troubled cities travel as fragmented memories in this short film about a man searching for stillness.

(Country: UK; Year: 2022; Director: Rabie Mustapha)
