Isis, Tomorrow - The Lost Souls of Mosul

This is the Queensbury Tunnel Society's vision for the 2020s: a network of shared paths linking Bradford, Halifax and Keighley, with a rejuvenated Queensbury Tunnel as its centrepiece. These paths would improve connectivity for commuters, tempt tourists to visit the many attractions within easy reach and, critically, deliver a social and economic uplift to the area. But without Queensbury Tunnel, a significant proportion of the potential benefits will be lost. We have to save this remarkable and historic structure before concrete suffocates it.

Jani (24) lives in a small town in Western Ukraine in the Hungarian minority. He is an only child and his father died five years ago. He is fed up with the boring life in his town and drowning in the love of Erzsike (45), his mother. He gets his draft-call from the Ukrainian National Guard, to fight the separatist. He could sneak out of the country to escape the military service just like his fellows did, but instead he chooses to go to the war 1,500 km away – why? He is not a patriot. He is not even Ukrainian. Combining visuals of cinema verité and mobile footage of war, Jani’s coming-of-age story unfolds throughout the nine months of military service and a few months after discharge.
