Mamoon (an Arabic name meaning ‘without fear’) follows the story of a mother and child, whose lives descend into darkness when the moon mysteriously loses its light. As their own light begins to fade, the mother must work out how to save her child, using a mysterious red glow. This BAFTA-nominated short is a melancholic and haunting animation inspired by the horrific plight of refugees fleeing Syria’s civil war.
