We all have places we call home. But what happens when that choice is taken from us, or when home becomes unrecognisable from what it once was? These films explore what it truly means to belong, and how modernisation, conflict, and fractured relationships can pull us away from the places we once called our own, and maybe even guide us towards somewhere, or someone, new we can finally call home.
There will be a Q&A with the filmmakers at this event.
