Frontiers of Dreams and Fears

From the Shatila camp in Beirut to the Dheisheh camp in Bethlehem, this film follows two teenage girls – Mona, 13, and Manar, 14 – who, separated by exile, get to know each other and form a friendship via the Internet, until a meeting becomes possible thanks to political events. Shot after the liberation of Southern Lebanon from Israeli occupation and at the outset of the Second Intifada, the film, by documenting this process of encounter, explores the connections between memory, dreams, and Palestinian identity.
