A Conversation With America (Jim Kroft, 95 mins, 2020, Scotland/Germany)

This Jungo Life (David Fedele, 78 mins, 2024, Morocco)
This Jungo Life takes us deep inside the lives of young refugees and asylum seekers from Sudan, living and sleeping rough on the streets of Morocco; forced to flee violence and instability in Libya, and unable to return home due to ongoing war and conflict. With unique and intimate access, we are given a glimpse into the human spirit and innate drive for survival, as they fight for a better life for themselves and the families they left behind.

Fragments of Gaza (Basharat Khan, 45 mins, 2026, Scotland/Palestine)
Through archive footage, testimonies and short films made by young people in Gaza , the film challenges headlines and skewed narratives and instead centering the humanity, humor, and hope that persist amid loss and uncertainty. These fragments tell only a partial story of a place constricted in size, but boundless in inspiration and faith. Preceded by the shorts 100 Symbols of Solidarity (Euan Sutherland, 4 mins, 2025, Scotland) and Who's Listening (Ross Birrell, 4 mins, 2025, Scotland/Palestine) and followed by a discussion with the filmmakers.
