The programme includes several films with a focus on children and challenges they face. Among them are Ohad Milstein’s “Summer Nights”, Zahavi Sanjavi’s “Imad’s Childhood” and Simon Lereng Wilmont’s “A House Made of Splinters”.
“Inspired by children’s curiosity and an honest, piercing view of the world in and around them, these creations portray children’s microcosm in a gentle and empathetic way, without shying away from painful and still often taboo topics such as death and grief or burning issues such as growing up in constant uncertainty and restricted freedoms,” the organisers said in the announcement of the festival’s 18th edition.
The films will be screened at Kaptol Boutique Cinema.
