What Happened in The Tent (The Redhorse Collective, 2018)
A documentary by Majd Khalifeh and Roel Nollet, exploring the inner power of circus to connect people across borders. The film follows an exchange project between two circus schools, one in the Palestinian West Bank and one in Molenbeek, Belgium, bringing together two groups of young people from vulnerable backgrounds. Each group has its own story about the way they are perceived by others, but they use circus as a way to bend the negativity, violence, and discrimination they face into a constructive project. They discover that art can be an effective and alternative way of resistance. The film raises the question of how the circus can change their world.
