- Symphony of Seasons – Sami Mustafa confronting the legacy of his Roma identity.
  Symphony of Seasons follows Sami Mustafa, one of the few Roma filmmakers in the world in his search to re-evaluate his Roma identity leads him back to his Kosovo roots, where generations of oppression and resilience shape the legacy he carries. His mother, who becomes a guide and the seasons as adversary we witness stories of displacement, struggle, and survival of one family as the children of wars.
  As the film unfold in four movements of seasons and four stage of life, each chapter infused with life's elemental rhythms—birth, childhood, adulthood, and elderhood is narrating a transformative journey while investigating a society of perpetuating stereotypes towards the Roma people and the rise of extreme-right ideologies.
