Each year Images screens more than 100 short and feature-length
films and videos from around the world, selected from
hundreds of submissions, to compete for our annual awards.
These programs form the backbone of the festival, spanning
every genre, from unconventional narratives and animation
to documentaries and experiments in cinematic form.

and other Arab countries. |

program includes two unusual documentaries and four
gallery installations. |

the automation of war and two feature films make points
about resistance in war. |
