"Kajillionaire": A Strange, Beautiful, and Gentle Story of Lost and Found Home
'Kajillionaire' is a touching and eccentric story about family, crime, and the search for belonging.
Children Who Draw
Children Who Draw explores the delicate chemistry of school children interacting in an art class through a constant juxtaposition of observational black-and-white portraits of the young children with lyrical passages shot in vivid color exploring their imaginative and expressive paintings. Experimenting with color as an intimate expression of the children’s inner worlds, a tool for deeper psychological investigation, Hani allows his camera to roam freely across the drawings, “de-framing’” and enagaging the artwork in a manner reminiscent of Alain Resnais.
