Between Two Deaths
Ameen Fakher Eldin | 2015 | 21’
Ameer Fakher Eldin’s short film deals with the relationship of a peasant couple from Majdal Shams in the occupied Golan Heights through their journey towards their cherry-trees orchard adjacent to the Syrian-Israeli border, torn apart in between two fires; echoes of the constant shelling in Syrian and decades-old Israeli forced occupation.
This short is the prequel to Fakher Eldin’s feature debut, The Stranger, which was released in 2021.
As If No Misfortune Had Occurred in the Night
Larissa Sanour & Søren Lind | 2022 | 21’
As If No Misfortune Had Occurred in the Night features a single aria performed by Palestinian soprano Nour Darwish. The aria is a new composition based on Gustav Mahler’s Kindertotenlieder and the Palestinian traditional song Mashaal. An underlying theme is the genetic transfer of trauma between generations. Filmed in a derelict chapel, the aria is accompanied by archival material from Palestine and special effects. The piece is presented in black and white dividing the screen into three parts, like an altar triptych.
