Another offering by Mai Masri, Frontiers of Dreams and Fears also explores the themes of displacement and conflict.
The documentary focuses on the relationship between Mona and Manar, two teenage girls who manage to communicate and befriend each other despite being many miles apart.
Mona, who was born in the Shatila refugee camp, and Manar, who lives in the Dheisheh refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, become pen pals and speak about the similarities and differences in their lives in each camp.
They manage to stay in touch through email, and in doing so they provide the viewer with a glimpse into their dreams and hopes.
The pair eventually meet at the fence that separates them at the Lebanon-Israel border.
Throughout the documentary, the girls express a shared dream of returning to their common homeland in Palestine.
It was filmed during the Second Intifada, and Masri touches upon the impact the uprising was having on the girls and others living in refugee camps.
