Titles included \"The Mother of All Lies\" by Moroccan filmmaker Asmae El Moudir, \"It Must Be Heaven\" by Palestinian filmmaker Elia Suleiman, and debut features \"Harka\" by Lotfy Nathan and \"143 Sahara Street\" by Algerian filmmaker Hassen Ferhani.\n\nA highlight was a panel discussion titled \"Echoes Across the Distance: Youth, Migration and the Future,\" organized with the CCLM Youth Voices Committee. The conversation delved into migration, identity and belonging from the perspectives of young filmmakers and cultural workers. Moderated by Patricia Mardones, the event featured Valeria Núñez, Julieta Flores and Efraín Chaparro.\n\nCCLM Executive Director Alejandra Valenzuela emphasized the festival's value in creating spaces for encounter and conversation.

Produced by Qatar Museums and co-organized with Mathaf and Doha Film Institute, the exhibition reflects Years of Culture's commitment to building lasting relationships between Qatar, Chile and international audiences.",
