Omar is a humble bricklayer, fragile-looking, thin and ungraceful. He
began to build a movie theatre above his home, all by himself and
without telling anyone. It took him four years.
He opened the cinema with a projector from 1928, got the seats from
the old village cinema and set up the screen painting a canvas that
his wife helped him hang. This room became his refuge.
After 10 years of trying to keep it running, his brothers decided to
sell the land where Omar's house and theatre were. He had to move.Omar
did not give up and started again. Like an ant, slowly and quietly.

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
