About this Event
This feature documentary explores Kamal Aljafari’s two-decade old camcorder footage depicting his search through Gaza for Abdel Rahim, a man he met while imprisoned by the Israeli occupation in 1989. Traveling through North Gaza to the South with Hasan, a local guide, this urgent story reveals the quiet moments, mourning and poetry of Palestinian existence and resistance.
The documentary screening is preceded by Ibrahim Abusitta’s short video work, Operations, composed of video footage of Palestinian resistance and redrawn, frame by frame, as a hand-drawn animation.
The film will be followed by a discussion on the struggles of Palestinian prisoners, the role of Palestinian memory workers, and the force of Palestinian resistance with artist Ibrahim Abusitta and organizer Dalia Awwad.
This venue is wheelchair accessible and has a gender neutral, wheelchair accessible washroom. For requests, please email [email protected]
