Cranes and Ships

This film was shot in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in March 2022—during the first month of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which continues until today. It ponders the silences and small acts of resistance by anti-war individuals at a time when mass protest fails and mass migration begins, when the state introduces military censorship, and the full-scale war is not experienced directly.

For Sama

A love letter from a young mother to her daughter, the film tells the story of Waad al-Kateab’s life through five years of the uprising in Aleppo, Syria as she falls in love, gets married and gives birth to Sama, all while cataclysmic conflict rises around her. Her camera captures incredible stories of loss, laughter and survival as Waad wrestles with an impossible choice– whether or not to flee the city to protect her daughter’s life, when leaving means abandoning the struggle for freedom for which she has already sacrificed so much.
