Introduction

Unearthed from MiniDV tapes filmed during Aljafari’s 2001 visit to Gaza – his first time behind the camera – the film traces his search for a former prison-mate. Guided by Hasan, a local tour guide whose fate remains uncertain, the footage captures a land and its people suspended between the past and a ruptured present – their everyday lives now irreversibly changed.

Cadences of Refusal

Activated by political urgency and defiance, these five works envision a collective reimagining and remaking of the world. Each crafts a counter-grammar to traditional non-fiction cinema – grounded in poetry, fragmentation, inquiry and the voice.

Afterlives

Media artist, filmmaker and critic Kevin B. Lee presents an unflinchingly complex and thought-provoking tapestry that interrogates the many faces of violence confronting our lives.

In the Clouds Flecks of Memories Pass By

These films embody memories: some personal, others inherited or found. At times they’re mesmerising, yet fissures can appear in the depicted recollections. Subjectivity comes into focus. Established narratives are destabilised.
