ALFILM SHORTS: On Grief

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

This short film program journeys through loss and the unspoken, giving way to the emotional taboos that reside silently within and between us. Grief, in its many facets, takes center stage: the death of innocence, the rupture of the sacred, the void from being uprooted, unrooted. Stolen, denied, offered, grief finds its way to the surface. It implores us to face it. The bigger tragedy is when it remains forever unlived.

Followed by a film talk with Maha Hajj (director of Upshot).
