The Brussels Short Film Festival invited Doctors Without Borders to curate a program. Through five short films, MSF invites you to step into the daily lives of those who care and resist elsewhere. The screening will be followed by a discussion with Doctors Without Borders team.

 

Through a program of five short films, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) invites you to step into the daily lives of those who provide care and show resilience in crisis settings. From the reality of a medical team working in a bunker hospital in Ukraine to the impact of forced displacement in Gaza, from a health center in the Central African Republic to the Libyan coast, via Marseille, these films bring us closer to MSF teams and their patients.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with members of Médecins Sans Frontières.
