“MALAKI - Scent of an Angel” revolves around the families of abducted persons during and in the aftermath of the Lebanese civil war. It sheds the light on the trauma of six different families constantly teetering on the brink of incertitude. Put this way, each family does not know the fate of their abducted family member; whether he is alive or dead. The very premise of the film is humane for it depicts the broken emotional ties within the family away from any political implication. The film combines real interviews within a surreal set on the one hand, and surreal fiction on the other hand. The interviews reveal the family’s reaction towards the abduction of a member. The fiction part is an incarnation of their fantasies; that is, an awaited day of reunion, a recurring dream and a fantasy. The film plays on the notion of blurred reality and fantasies since the families’ reality is unbearable; ultimately, they escape to their dream. close

Consumption of War is a documentary on the environmental crisis, particularly in the area of water misuse.
Today, global corporations are contributing to water consumption on a huge scale, as they are fully profit-oriented and do not think about the consequences. In Iraq, for example, most oil companies have signed a major free oil contract. At the same time, no one takes into account the fact that it takes one and a half barrels of water to extract each barrel of oil. And this happens when one in four earthlings do not have access to clean drinking water.
Consumption of War is directed by Adel Abidin, a native of Iraq who now lives and works in Finland. close
