Synopsis
Yallah, Yallah, Beenah: As a film and audio junkie who’s home has been converted to a dedicated shrine to cinema revels in the tales of his equipment to a documentary film crew, we find ourselves transported through a wormhole where a gang of pre-teen kids are sent on a psychedelic mission to save humanity all while under the influence of a spell put forth by a coven of witches.

Followed by:
The King's Poem: The story of a young Saudi poet who receives the prestigious title?The Prince of Poets (Amir Al-Shu’ara), and is later nominated to recite a welcome poem before King Salman. However, one word would render this festive evening into a nightmare.

Followed by:
My Lost Country: Iraqi theater director Mohsen Sadoon Yasin has spent much of his life in involuntary exile. His daughter, Ishtar Yasin Gutiérrez, has constructed a loving film portrait of her father, and an elegy for a homeland to which they can never return—partly because it has changed so much, and partly because it was perhaps always more a concept than a reality.
