I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The necessity for adaptation and the retention of hope in trying conditions are themes examined in 17-year-old Khaldiya Jibawi's 'Another Kind of Girl'. A product of a three-month workshop with Syrian girls living in the Za'atari refugee camp in Jordan, this teenager's film is a soaringly poignant and wonderfully engaging look at life in a camp that stretches as far as the eye can see.She and those overseeing/guiding the wider project have created a visually poetic and beautifully insightful piece on the perspective of a teenager finding her place in the world and exploring and imagining liberation through the medium of film and what it can capture and evoke.These transcendental qualities belie the rudimentary harshness and the spartan limitations of her surroundings and succeed in making one's heart soar at the potential for hope and goodness that exists in the hearts of young and irrepressible generations. This girl's undertaking is a hymn to life in all its rewarding simplicity and mystifying complexity. It moved me as few films have over recent times.
