When our normal daily life vanishes all out of the sudden against our will because of something falling from sky, or because of a moving plane in the sky. The spirit of that life we had reincarnates in little small details we used to live everyday, and got very used till we took it for granted. These little details become more than a scent of something we had in our past, and a picture wouldn’t only present a moment we captured in time, it recreates that time for us, it becomes alive again, present and constant.

Morocco, 2011. On a feverish night, a child perceives a ghost, a woman who has come from the sea, coming home after a long political exile. A silent tale, a bodyless voice and visions mingle in the dark of the night and the fever. The child of the present and the political refugee are now one, travelling together to a strange building haunted by lost memories. History of decolonization and forgotten political fights appear and disappear. But a new struggle, the Arab Spring of Morocco, floods the past.

In the past decade, the Israeli military control over 3.75 million Palestinians has become an economic endeavour that is considered the key element to the Israeli wealth. The means used by the military against Gaza and in the West Bank are exported worldwide. The film shows how the military occupation is a national business enterprise so valuable that the State of Israel cannot afford to lose. Yotam Feldman: the Israeli economy has become dependent on the massive security market. Governments act in hypocrisy when they purchase Israeli arms used against Palestinians, but criticize Israeli violence..

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.
