Art, war, relationships, taxi rides, the end of the world. Using a number of different filmmaking styles, this merry-go-round essay has it all.

SHORT MOVIE: Rebel beats

Rebel Beats; Omid Marzban, 26´, OV (farsi) + ST (cz) + ES

As military helicopters continue to hover over Kabul, the music couple known as 143Band are fighting a different war on the ground, with their rap songs in support of Afghan women and their rights. Despite facing constant harassment and violence on the streets and online, defeat is a word that cannot be found either in their vocabulary or the lyrics of their songs.
