Aicha, written and directed by Moroccan filmmaker Sanaa El Alaoui, and produced by Piotr Kaczorowski, has been named Best Short of the Season – February 2026. Running 25 minutes, the film delivers a fully realized cinematic experience that feels expansive rather than brief, where every image, sound, and silence carries intention. From its opening moments, Aicha establishes a quiet emotional gravity, drawing viewers into an intimate world shaped by loss, memory, and spiritual reckoning.
