Return to al-Ma’in

Return to al-Ma’in chronicles the multiyear collaboration between Forensic Architecture (FA) and Palestinian historian and Nakba survivor Salman Abu Sitta on the reconstruction of his birthplace, the lost village of Ma’in Abu Sitta (or al-Ma’in). Guided by the work and memories of Abu Sitta, FA-researchers reconstructed al-Ma’in’s occupation by Israeli forces on 14 May 1948, its subsequent demolition, and the settlements constructed on its ruins. The movie looks to the present moment and the connections between Israeli military’s conduct and appropriation of Palestinian land during and after 1948, and today in Gaza. The project looks back at the sophistication and sensitivity with which the Abu Sitta family cultivated their land, and the rich agricultural diversity that was lost when Israeli settlements were subsequently constructed over this landscape.

Cobra Canoa

Álvaro Tukano returns to his homeland after forty years. It's a journey of reunion with his origins, customs, family, and friends left behind when he had to flee persecution from the Salesian priests' boarding schools and the government, and became internationally recognized for his denunciations of the attempted cultural genocide against his people. The trip fulfills his father's request for him to receive initiation into the rites of passage of the Sacred Flutes and the Jurupari Dance, a ritual Álvaro was never able to participate in because the education he received within the Salesian missions prohibited and punished young indigenous people who sought to cultivate their culture. Upon his return, he finds the boarding schools in ruins and abandoned, and his people gradually resuming the sacred rituals that the machine of forgetting tried to erase.

Marilyn Minter: Pretty/Dirty

Visual artist Marilyn Minter has been a major creative voice since the 1970s. Despite her undeniable talent, her provocative style—often blurring the lines between pornographic and commercial—has kept her at arm’s length from the art world’s inner sanctum. Marilyn’s steadfast commitment to her own creative instincts has carried her through eras of success and rejection and into the present, where she has become known for capturing cultural icons like Lizzo, Jane Fonda, Pamela Anderson, Monica Lewinsky, and many others. As the public appetite catches up to Marilyn’s vision, will the establishment’s gatekeepers finally accept her?

A Band Called LoveSong

In February of 1970, four young hippies walked into Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California and the rest is music and cultural history. LoveSong’s music and the music of a few other emerging pioneering Christian artists would revolutionize popular music, create a new music genre, and become the driving force behind what Time magazine would call, “The Jesus Revolution”. LoveSong would become the first Christian band of renown, set new Christian music recording standards, help shatter the glass ceiling of what was acceptable to be played in church, and create a musical legacy that endures to this day.

Ocean Elegy: The Tragedies of Mudan and Ryukyu

In 1871, a ship traveling from Miyako Island to Shuri to deliver annual tribute was caught in a storm and drifted to southern Taiwan. Onboard were 69 Ryukyuan passengers who reached an area inhabited by the Paiwan people. However, some Ryukyuans were killed in a tragic incident that later became known as the Mudan Incident. This event was used as a pretext for Japan’s invasion of Taiwan (the 1874 Taiwan Expedition) and also influenced Japan’s annexation of Ryukyu, significantly shaping the geopolitical landscape of East Asia.
