About this Event

🇪🇸:

El festival de cortometrajes Here & Elsewhere | ‏هُنا وهُنالِك es un evento benéfico de tres días de duración. Da voz a Palestina, Líbano y otros lugares, centrándose en las comunidades que sufren marginación sistémica en todo el mundo.

Nuestras películas celebran la belleza, la alegría y la resiliencia que se encuentran en la resistencia, y van más allá de las narrativas trilladas de desesperación o estereotipos para revelar un retrato más rico y verdadero de la región.
