XVII/85 Projektionen

Working "in film," interweaving projected parts of the film, the filmmaker approaches a memory and repeatedly indicates how the seeing and the seen are cyclically superimposed in the image. A fast drive, a road cuts through the man's silhouette. The gaze advances through a young forest, following a woman from above who soon reveals her calm, bright face from up close, alternating with that of the man. We advance slowly down a hallway, the woman's face in double exposure. Viewed in close-up, a row of lamps creates sections and perspectives. Hovering lights appear in succession. Steps and a pumping pulsation lead to a car ride, while the white section of the sky bleaches the woman's image.

For Sama

A love letter from a young mother to her daughter, the film tells the story of Waad al-Kateab’s life through five years of the uprising in Aleppo, Syria as she falls in love, gets married and gives birth to Sama, all while cataclysmic conflict rises around her. Her camera captures incredible stories of loss, laughter and survival as Waad wrestles with an impossible choice– whether or not to flee the city to protect her daughter’s life, when leaving means abandoning the struggle for freedom for which she has already sacrificed so much.
