Human Flow | The Other Side of Hope
Human Flow | The Other Side of Hope
Human Flow
Dir.: Ai Weiwei | Germany, USA, China, Palestine, France 2017 | 140 minutes | English, Arabic, Farsi | Hebrew subtitles

Tens of millions of immigrants roam the world, escaping warzones, poverty and famine, trying to ensure a better future for themselves and their families. Masterful Chinese artist Ai Weiwei embarks on a global journey to document this phenomenon. From the shores of Europe to the US/Mexican border, Weiwi moves between different viewpoints: from shots capturing the beauty of the human flow to that of the immigrants themselves. Human Flow is an intimate and humane portrait of the great migration of humankind.

The Other Side of Hope
Dir.: Aki Kaurismäki | Finland, Germany 2017 | 100 minutes | Finnish, English, Arabic, Swedish | Hebrew subtitles

In contemporary Finland, a chance meeting between a salesman and a Syrian refugee provides them with abundant hope. Director Aki Kaurismäki combines his social views with unique humor in an affective and amusing film – one of this past year’s best.
