Two sisters live in bungalow surrounded by backwoods. Mony is 25 and has Down’s Syndrome; Dolly is a nurse at the local hospital while also caring for her sister, having dropped out of medical school when their mother died. There was clearly violence in their past – Mony is gleeful that Papa cannot hit her any more - and constant threats from men in the present; Dolly must be vigilant for both of them. Using the language of horror films, Banerjee highlights the crimes against women that are often swept under the rug.

HOLES
Director: Abdulmohsen Aldhabaan
Rakan and his wife Rim are looking for an apartment to rent instead of living with his aged mother. It seems they have found the right spot, except for the hole in the wall that looks as if someone bashed it with a hammer. Rakan seems strangely unengaged, however, barely speaking to his wife. Gradually, as we slip from present to past, we piece together the story that explains his barrage of unwanted calls, chance encounters with shady characters and outbreaks of violence. When his mother’s home is burgled and she is attacked, he is confronted by the person he least wants to see.
