Now It’s A Strange House (2026)
Directed by Ethan Grossman & Cate Knothe
USA, Germany
From Germany’s antisemitism during World War II to its current xenophobia targeting immigrants, this film alarmingly examines the fear of others and how it leads to fascism. Testimonials from the people of one village reveal a dreadful truth through methodical, patient fixation on faces as they express their innermost feelings. - Murtada Elfadl
