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.

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.
