Paradiso, XXXI, 108

A collage of found footage that blurs the lines between reality and fiction, recreation and truth. Israeli military manoeuvres are decontextualised, and the footage makes us think about the double violence of war records and the link between the image and concrete reality.

A Fidai Film

A film that rebels against the theft of memories, especially when it comes to a country’s literary, and historical archives. Kamal Aljafari brings us the Israeli incursion into the Palestinian Research Centre in Beirut, in the summer of 1982. This example is not unique; it has been happening since 1948. When there is an occupation, there is a desire to disconnect from the past, to replace memories, to erase history. This film says “no” to that gesture.
