3. Has Been Hero

   Logline: In a time of peril, one self-styled vigilante's mission to pummel a super-villain is thwarted only by his own decline as both hero and villain search for fulfillment. “Has Been Hero” is the story of how Jack Lee, a juggernaut, must confront his most formidable enemy yet: inevitable physical decline. This is a humbling and disempowering experience for Jack, a self-styled vigilante who saw himself as a soldier dedicated to dispensing his own brand of justice.

   Once a fearsome powerhouse, Jack Lee fought crime and was the spectacle of public praise and ridicule. Now in the twilight of his life and in ill health, Jack finds himself forgotten by the public, bored in retirement, and bitter.

   Old age is often viewed by the young as something that happens to other people, and is an outcome that can be avoided through sheer will. The truth is that it happens to everyone, even superheroes.

4. Margins of History

   “On the Margin of History” is a witness of the destruction of ancient history and the sharp demographic change in Aleppo (Syria), Mohamad Kebbewar’s home town, a city of six million people that lost ninety percent of its residents over the course of six years. It is the witness of the breakdown of former Yugoslavia, Natasha Boskic’s homeland, culminating in the NATO bombing of Serbia where silence was the only response to events. It is a transdisciplinary project that considers the tensions between personal voice and story and the possibilities of the digital visuals, done by Mary McDonald, to suggest and reinforce false narratives and/or to create understandings through metaphor, playing with all levels of our perception. It attempts to reframe our consciousness to find empathy and closeness, humanity in chaos. The ”Margin” tells the true cost of war — the reverberating loss of the destruction of people and place, family, heritage, traditions, and cultures. These brief fragments of poem and film enhance the experience of the surreal and feelings of displacement.
