Tomorrow night in #nyc see #NeverLeaveMe and Q&A with Aida Begic at @bhffnyc ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Powerful words from Aida Begic when asked what impact she’s hoping her film NEVER LEAVE ME will have: “I think this film can do a lot, because this is a post truth era, it doesn't matter what the facts of anything that happens are, it’s just more about manipulation I think, and I really feel frustrated even reading about things because I don't know who I can trust anymore and I don’t know how I can find my position in all that and what can I do or not do? And I think that cinema is a possibility to build up bridges between cultures and people, because at the end of the day, however different we are in languages or culture or religion or no religion we follow, we feel the same, we love the same, we suffer the same.”

#Toronto something good is coming your way.

Don't miss the 15th Annual #Toronto Human Rights Watch Film Festival from April 18th to 25th at the @tiff_net Bell Lightbox Featuring: Muhi - Generally Temporary Muhi, a young boy from Gaza, has been trapped in an Israeli hospital for over eight years. Rushed there in his infancy with a life-threatening immune disorder, he and his doting grandfather, Abu Naim, are caught in an immigration limbo and only permitted to reside within the constraints of the hospital walls. Made by two filmmakers from Jerusalem, this documentary lays out the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in human terms, documenting the impact these paradoxical circumstances have on individual lives.

#Nyc don’t miss seeing the latest film “Never Leave Me” by Aida Begić at the @bhffnyc on Fri April 13 with Q&A. Presented in partnership with the #hrwffny ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In Never Leave Me, Aida moves from Balkan topography to deal with Syrian refugees in Turkey. The film focuses on three boys, 14-year old Isa, 11-year old Ahmad, and 10-year old Motaz, who live in orphanage together. Although the three boys are quite different from one another, their grievances over their lost parents and dreams of a better future unite them.
