During the DIFF, I was lucky to see several amazing films. Initially, I only really planned on watching one to fulfill the assignment for our class, but after watching the first, it didn't take long until I was a film festival junkie. I had an absolute blast, and I'm actually really excited for next year!
The first film of the festival that I watched was part of the features, and was entitled, "Trouble Sleeping." The film chronicles the lives of a group of refugees in Edinburgh, and the love, struggles, secrets, and joys they experience as they continue their pursuit for asylum. I loved this film for many reasons, but most notably because of the beautiful way in which the culture of the refugees was interwoven into a place in the world very different from their own. Nothing about these people appears unnatural or unrelatable, and every character appears to have some element to their person that speaks to the human heart of every walk and background. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone with a love and fascination about the world beyond their own.
