Tripoli Cancelled

The film follows a pilot who finds himself stuck in a crumbling, deserted airport. This unique setting serves as a backdrop for a narrative shaped by real-life events from the director's past, specifically his father's experience stranded at Ellinikon International Airport in 1977 without a passport.

Naeem Mohaiemen's first fiction film offers a compelling look at the psychological effects of confinement and the search for identity in a disorienting world. Clocking in at 95 minutes, it presents a reflective journey through the lens of an individual grappling with circumstance and longing.
