IDFA Meets MacGuffin
In conjunction with MacGuffin's latest issue, this collaboration explores the impact of ‘the wall’—not merely as a physical barrier dividing space, but as a social and political boundary with a profound psychological impact. Through two films, Infiltrators and Rule of Stone, the evening unravels how these walls embody larger forces that separate, control, and define communities—forces that are imposed, challenged, and, at times, transcended.
19:00 – 20:45 Infiltrators Khaled Jarrar
21:30 – 23:06 Rule of Stone by Danae Elon
