SHE WEAVES A DREAM explores finding freedom in creativity, expression and dream worlds, each lensed by artists and filmmakers based in the South West Asian and North African region. Across beautiful animation, lyrical documentary in Super16, absurd comedy, fantastical drama and feminist twists, each of our characters finds liberation through imagination.  

Titles include: Up to the Sea She Weaves a Dream by Maryam Khalilzadeh (Iran 2021), Love in Galilee by Layla Menhem & Nader Chalhoub (Lebanon 2021), Turkish Gothic: Portrait of a Family by Burcu Uğuz (Turkey 2020), Become / Bint Werden by Maysaa Almumin (Kuwait 2020), I and the Stupid Boy by Kaouther Ben Haia (Tunisia 2022) and Warsha by Dania Bdeir (Lebanon 2022).
