CONFLIGHT

Six shorts from the Nordic region, giving us insight into today’s difficult political
and humanitarian situation. The films are about people crossing borders for different reasons, about fleeing and the consequences of this. Fiction is able to not only show us this, but also to further understanding and to get under the skin. In a complicated and fragmented world, such moments of artistic truths can give us the grounding we need, both on an intellectual and emotional level. This program is a collaboration with The Nordic Short Film Festival Network.

XENOS

I 2010 reiste Abu Eyad og andre unge palestinere fra flykningeleiren Ain el-Helweh sammen med menneskesmuglere gjennom Syria og Tyrkia og inn i Hellas. Som så mange andre emigranter lette de etter en vei inn i Europa, men endte opp fanget i et land som var i ferd med å gjennomgå en økonomisk, politisk og sosial kollaps.

In 2010, Abu Eyad and other young Palestinian men from the Ain el-Helweh refugee camp in Lebanon travelled with smugglers through Syria and Turkey into Greece. Like so many other migrants, they came looking for a way to get into Europe, but found themselves trapped in a country undergoing economic, political, and social collapse.
