The film directed by Mohammed Almughanni will be screened in the Croatian town of Postira, in a picturesque setting, and the aim of the event is to "make the lives of its residents better."

The 14th Postira Seaside Film Festival runs from 23 to 28, July.

The festival is organized by a group of cinema enthusiasts associated with the LATERNA MAGICA association and takes place in picturesque scenery. As the organizers write, they established the festival in 2011 in their town "to make the lives of its inhabitants (especially young people) better."

The film by our directing graduate, Mohammed Almughanni, is screening in the International Competition.

Mohammed and Farouk seemingly have little in common. Mohammed has returned to Palestine for a short visit, carrying a permanent residence card and the promise of a peaceful future. Farouk, on the other hand, is a young taxi driver condemned to live in one of the world's most dangerous places. When their lives intersect, stark differences emerge, creating tensions that are hard to navigate. Can Mohammed and Farouk bridge their divides when confronted with the arrogance of Israeli soldiers?
