RACHID
Rachida El Garani, Belgium, 2023, 19 min.
Cast: Zakaria Ridouani, Zouzou Ben Chikha, Stany Crets
VO: Dutch, Arabisch. ST: Dutch
Rachid, a 21-year-old young man of Moroccan origin, has one goal: to find a job. Filled with confidence, he applies to work as a dishwasher in a restaurant - after all, that seems like a job anyone can do. But it soon turns out that things are not as simple as he thinks.
A heartwarming comedy that not only succeeds in raising tricky issues such as racism and discrimination, but also challenges and sharpens the debate.
ZWARTE IBIS
Collectief Black Speaks Back, The Netherlands, Belgium, 2024, 18 min.
VO: Dutch. ST: English
Black Ibis depicts a young black woman's inner quest for intimacy in a world where the boundaries between the individual and the collective, the political and the personal, the present and the past, are constantly blurring.
Followed by a festive reception.
