In the organizer's words:

German premiere

Cinema Kawakeb

Mahmoud al Massad / Jordan, Qatar, Netherlands, Palestine / 2025 / 78 min.

Language version: OmeU

In a side street of Amman, a run-down movie theater is on the verge of closing down. As a filmmaker documents his last days, personal stories interweave with political tensions. Archive images of global conflicts, particularly from the Middle East, are reflected in the fate of the cinema and show how wars, power struggles and historical ruptures permeate everyday life. Between decay and hope, a haunting reflection on memory, geopolitical reality and the traces of great history emerges.
