Description
Featuring a conversation with Basma Alsharif, whose films we recently encountered on Another Screen's beautifully curated program titled “FOR A FREE PALESTINE: Films by Palestinian Women”, featuring a rolling selection of work from over a dozen Palestinian directors. It was through this program that we here at Docs in Orbit were introduced to the works of many incredible Palestinian filmmakers, among them: Basma Alsharif. A visual artist and filmmaker of Palestinian origin, Basma was raised as something of a nomad between Kuwait, France, the US, and the Gaza Strip. Her work straddles that line between cinema and installation, centering on the human condition in relation to shifting geopolitical landscapes and natural environments.We stepped into the program without knowing anything about Basma but soon found ourselves returning to her films, again and again, parsing through layers thick with visual metaphor, and deeply moved by her powerful use of sound.We hope you enjoy this conversation and have the chance to view her work available on Another Screen until June 18th.
