Dir. Diana Allan2024, Canada, Palestine, Lebanon, 61 min
Arabic with English subtitles
Partition fuses archival footage from the British occupation of Palestine with audio recorded of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. Silent films gathered in imperial collections hold histories that have barely been told. Recovering Palestinian presence through story, voice and song, unraveling colonial pasts through soundscapes of the precarious present, Partition is a meditation on what bodies remember and empires forget.

Momentum
Dir. Nada El Omari
2025, Canada, 19 min
Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. It is the strength or force gained by motion or by a series of events. It is also what memories gain as time moves on. Twenty years after it was recorded, the course of a day resurfaces, still current today. As images are reassembled, people, places, and voices shift and cross the eye of the camera – shaped by time, but not erased by it. What does it mean to hold proof, to possess the facts, but still struggle to be believed? What is the tension between evidence and emotion ? Between what we see and what we choose to remember ? In a world where truth is no longer enough, what does it take to truly witness — and what does it mean to care for stories long after the moment has passed. Momentum is a reflection on memory, place, and the quiet persevering strength of images to bear witness, then and still now — even when the world chooses to move on.
