The Raah Lab con-sponsored the second night of the 16th edition of the Regards Palestiniens screening series held at Cinema Public on 29 November 2023.
The 16th edition, titled "Generations of Nakba" takes place against the horrific backdrop of Israel’s continuous bombing of Palestinians in Gaza and its intensifying violent attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank. As the number of dead and injured and maimed and disfigured continues to rise, we continue to grieve, and to collectively and repeatedly condemn the genocide and ethnic cleansing that is unfolding in Palestine.
The second night’s programme, “Young Voices”, explores the worlds of Palestinian children and youth through an emphasis on different soundscapes and voices. From bombardments felt through vibrations in Gaza to video game sounds that simulate lived reality under colonial rule, the sonic components of cinema intimately attune listeners to the violence of Zionist settler colonialism.
The films screened were:
- Vibrations from Gaza (2023), Rehab Nazzal, 16’| VOSTA
- Far Away From Home (1969), Qais Al-Zubaidi, 11’ | VOSTA
- The Game (1973), Shirak, 16’ | VOSTA
