The Sounds of Things Ablaze

Hayat Najm
2025 | 6 min
A woman walks down the sidewalk, avoiding the cracks in the pavement like a child. Her body remains on high alert, remembering the horrors of a war that continues to haunt her. The Sounds of Things Ablaze is a charcoal-drawn animated short film about the resilience of women.
