uncle ma’an

"Uncle Ma'an" is a four minute experimental animated short film about family living in the current war situation in Iraq. Composed of graphic collages, the film is based on my memories of my uncle when I visited Iraq as a child. This film is a glimpse of Uncle Ma'an's daily life activities being surrounded by the tensions of war.
