Three remarkable international films make their Canadian premieres at this year’s Reel 2 Real.  Filled with playful songs and a deep respect for the tradition of connective storytelling the region is known for, SALEEM is hot off the heels of its successes at Annecy where it was the first animated work out of Jordan to show at the festival. Director Cynthia Madanat has crafted an accessible and thoughtful take on the emotional experience of a young refugee. She was recently named one of Screen Daily’s ‘Arab Stars of Tomorrow.’
