Synopsis
A film program contained within a single film – that’s how the filmmaker/curator behind this work defines her gesture, gathering excerpts from works made between the 1970s and 2010s. Some are by filmmakers from around the world, created in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle; others are by Palestinian directors themselves. The montage first weaves these images through the shared theme of education as resistance, then shifts to combining resonances through visual form itself, unveiling a world of possible dialogues between the gaze from within and the gaze from outside. (C.A.)
This film will be screened alongside Ngupelngamarrunu, Night Time Go
Director
Reem Shilleh
A researcher, curator, editor and artist, Reem Shilleh’s practice is informed by a long research project on militant and revolutionary image practices in Palestine, its diaspora and its solidarity network. Reem Shilleh’s research expands a notion of an imperfect archive: an archive that has no place, body or definition, but instead is a practice. The material it concerns does not follow a linear narrative, but takes many forms and is a collective activity.
