BABA may centre on some of the negatives of Libyan culture, but it isn’t a short looking to paint a pessimistic portrait of the country. In fact, the directors actually describe it as a “love letter to Libya” and it’s this positivity throughout the film that really struck me. Ali and Arbor could’ve taken their narrative to much darker places, but ultimately this is a story of friendship and hope and that is represented poignantly in their impressive filmmaking. - S/W Curator, Rob Munday
