Jackie Reem Salloum’s documentary traces the rise of Palestinian hip hop in the late 1990s through intimate portraits of artists such as DAM, Mahmood Shalabi (MWR), Abeer Al Zinati, Arapeyat and Palestinian Rapperz. Shot with observational empathy, the film blends road-like encounters and performance footage to capture anger, resilience and lyrical dissent against occupation, inequality and gender discrimination. Raw, rhythmic and compassionate, it foregrounds music as a vehicle of identity, resistance and communal longing.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s haunting film follows Uncle Boonmee as supernatural visitations and tender memories lead him to confront mortality. Shot with languid long takes, luminous natural light and a patient, dreamlike rhythm, the film blends everyday intimacy with mythic strangeness. Palme d’Or winner at Cannes, it explores reincarnation, familial bonds and the porous boundary between life and death with quiet compassion, inviting reflection rather than offering answers.
