Post Truth / Alkan Avcıoğlu / Turkey / 2026 / 1:42:45
A fake film about the real world, Post Truth explores our relationship with technology and examines how we arrived at a world where facts no longer matter. The film documents an era of endless information overload and cultural dissonance, using the very language of the era it reflects. Blurring the line between real and fake, the film questions not only what we see, but what we choose to believe. Widely cited as the first AI-generated feature-length documentary in history, Post Truth draws inspiration from the cinematic vision of Godfrey Reggio and the archival essay style of Adam Curtis and Chris Marker.

The Abdallah Case (L'affaire Abdallah) / Pierre Carles / France / France / 2026 / 1:41:15
Lebanese Georges Ibrahim Abdallah has been imprisoned for 40 years in France. This pro-Palestinian communist resistance fighter has been labelled a ‘terrorist’. Wrongly so. Incredible fake news and strong pressure exerted by the USA on France are at the root of this extraordinary length of detention. We take a look at the ‘Abdallah affair’.

Shrinking Space / Norma Nebot, Cristina Mora / Spain / 2025 / 01:18:35
Being a human rights activist and an NGO staff member in Palestine is a high-risk endeavor. Even when the struggle is for women’s rights or the right to health. In 2021, Israel designated six of the largest Palestinian NGOs in the West Bank as terrorist groups—without presenting evidence. Some of their directors and staff have been detained or targeted with military-grade spyware such as Pegasus.
Over the past two years, the Israel-Gaza war has dominated international headlines—but what was happening before October 7, 2023? Through newly uncovered archives, unseen personal footage, and images captured in the West Bank in 2023, this documentary sheds light on how the state of Israel set its sights on dismantling Palestine’s civil society.
How are these Israeli policies sustained? “Shrinking Space” includes evidence of U.S. involvement, Europe’s complicity, illegal detentions, and the arbitrary imprisonment of innocent Palestinian children.
The film weaves together intimate portraits of these renowned persecuted Palestinian activists with powerful reflections that provide key insights into the ongoing Israeli’s apartheid regime and systemic repression in Palestine.
