The series featured three films that reflect different experiences across the history of Arab cinema, addressing issues of belonging and identity, as well as the impact of political and social changes on the relationship between people, place, and memory. Films related to Lebanon during the Civil War, Algeria after independence, and Palestine in the decades following 1948 were showcased, accompanied by discussions on youth representation, artistic direction, and the role of personal memory in shaping national awareness.
