WHEN WOMEN PLAY
a film by Roser Corella
In a small village in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan, where conservative traditions don't allow women to enjoy their free time, Gazi organises a football tournament for the women of the village on the occasion of her mother's birthday. Women of all ages are encouraged to participate! As they have no experience in football, they start training on the outskirts of the village, away from the gaze of the men, who are not invited to the tournament.
A BEAUTIFUL DAY
a film by Stefano Obino
A beautiful day is built on small pieces of resilience that bring people out of tragedy. Even if these are only fragments of happiness, even if the future is still far away, impossible to feel and decipher, this euphoric and spontaneous energy is a hymn to life, to hope and to a different way of seeing things.
In Iraqi Kurdistan, the war against ISIS has left millions of people in need. 50% of them are under the age of 18. The voice of a mother, in her most intimate thoughts of rebuilding a daily life after the tragedy.
AZIZA
a film by Ana Catalá
Using her smartphone camera, a young woman invites us into her world and her life in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime. Her name is Aziza. She refuses to surrender under the shadow of the gender-apartheid ideology that grows darker by the day as it spreads across the country.
SUPERHEROES
a film by Stefano Obino
17 new superheroes are born in the Syrian Refugee Camp in Iraqi Kurdistan! They have unexpected superpowers: they build schools, houses, and paved roads, distribute love in people's hearts, and fly with butterfly wings to bring Domiz 1's children to visit their fathers, who have left in search of work to rich Europe. They will then show their superheroes on the streets of Domiz 1, with the incredulous eyes of the community around them, waiting for the magic to happen.
Because, after all, if you believe it, you will see it!
