In northern Morocco, a massive fence looms over the landscape. Within it lies 12 square kilometers of Europe. The port of Melilla is one of the last remaining outposts of Spanish colonialism in Africa and a place where different cultures intersect. Distant voices tell the stories of the city. Caught between the colonial past and modern migration policies, they offer a glimpse into life at one of the most militarized borders in the worldI Could See a Ghost from My Window

Based on the account of a mother and a grandmother about the murder of a travesti, this short documentary explores the dreamlike state—that territory between memory and imagination—of a childhood recollection. Using Ecuadorian archival footage from the 1990s and found footage, it weaves a micro-narrative about memory, death, and absence. An attempt to escape oblivion and become eternal through cinema.СМП-340

Working with the archive, I observe how documentary memory conflicts with personal memory—this sense of displacement and substitution creates a complex system of distortions, reminiscent of a dream. I am fascinated by how layers of memory intertwine, erase each other, rewrite, and form new meanings.Winter Lights

Learning to Drive in Birmingham
2026
Laisul, a Bangladeshi immigrant now living in the UK, attempts to navigate Birmingham through driving lessons, conversations in cars, and phone calls from home. Filmed inside vehicles and among construction sites, blocked roads, and sprawling South Asian neighbourhoods on the city’s outskirts, the work reflects on mobility, belonging, and displacement, while offering a glimpse into the lives of Bangladeshi communities who have made Birmingham their home. As the artist learns to drive in a city seemingly built around cars, encounters with friends, driving instructors, and archival traces of Bangladeshi political figures reveal Birmingham’s deep connections to Bangladesh and its diaspora. Moving between intimate conversations and urban observation, the film unfolds as a portrait of a city in transition, where personal experiences intersect with migration, infrastructure, and histories that continue to travel between Birmingham and Bangladesh.
