Giant

How do we go about making films for children fleeing wars and crises? What inspiration can the cinema give these children? Can films relieve suffering or provide hope? Seven young filmmakers from all over the world created seven non-verbal short films, each of which addresses in its own highly unique way the needs of the refugee children. Each one offers a glimpse of a brighter future. Seven films woven into an episode film, adding documentary material from Lebanon, Jordan and Greece, which creates a near-poetic melancholy that is repeatedly broken up by the energy of children – beyond all borders.

The titles of the episodes are:
· THE MAGNIFYING GLASS by Nazgol Emami
· A THING ABOUT ME by Diana Menestrey and Camilo Colmenares
· GIANT by Johanna Bentz
· ABDULLAH by Khaled Nawal
· THE MAGIC BALLOON by Sandra Dajani
· SHADY by Nada Riad
· THE BREAK by Madeleine Dallmeyer
