Bye Bye Tiberius
Palestinian Family Documentary - 1h22min - Not Rated - dir. Lina Soualem - Arabic and French with English subtitles
Years after leaving her Palestinian village to pursue an acting career in France, "Succession" and "Ramy" hit series star Hiam Abbass returns home with her daughter, in this intimate documentary about four generations of women and their shared legacy of separation.

Goodbye Julia
Sudanese Drama - 2h - Not Rated - dir. Mohamed Kordofani - Arabic with English subtitles
Wracked by guilt after covering up a murder, Mona - a northern Sudanese retired singer in a tense marriage - tries to make amends by taking in the deceased's southern Sudanese widow, Julia, and her son, Daniel, into her home. Unable to confess her transgressions to Julia, Mona decides to leave the past behind and adjust to a new status quo, unaware that the country's turmoil may find its way into her home and put her face to face with her sins.

Curated by Mizna, hosted by Circle Cinema, sponsored by Tulsa Artist Fellowship
