THE DIARY OF A SKY
The Diary of a Sky unfolds an atmospheric symphony of violence over Beirut, revealing the haunting fusion of incessant illegal Israeli military flights and the hum of generators during blackouts. This 45-minute video essay plunges viewers into a chilling chronicle of daily life transformed by the weaponisation of the air, where the terror of repeated incursions becomes a disconcertingly banal backdrop. An inventive and astonishing piece of filmmaking and commentary.
RETURN TO AL-MA'IN
Return to al-Ma’in chronicles the collaboration between Forensic Architecture (FA) and Palestinian historian and Nakba survivor Salman Abu Sitta on the reconstruction of his birthplace, the lost village of al-Ma’in. Together they have used 3D technology to reconstruct al-Ma’in’s occupation by Zionist militias on 14 May 1948, its subsequent demolition, and the Israeli settlements constructed on its ruins. The movie looks to the present moment and the connections between the Israeli military’s conduct and appropriation of Palestinian land in 1948, and today in Gaza.
