The Swing

Creative Documentary (Lebanon)

By Antoine’s 90th birthday, life hangs on a feeble string of his declining health as he anticipates the visit from his daughter, while his wife for 65 years, Viviane, endures the pain of concealing from him the unbearable truth, the truth that will inevitably end the last beats of his fragile heart: their daughter’s sudden death.

TANGLED IN IMBROGLIO

Creative Documentary (Tunisia)

A filmmaker is searching a lost place. An homosexual whorehouse in the heart of Tunis. In the brothel district, the director wanders the streets pushing the doors of colorful characters witnesses of that period. Telling their memories, the place appears in our imagination. Gradually tongues are loosened, the prostitutes are taking shape, secrets emerge, some funny, some weighty and other astonishing.
