PARADISO, XXXI, 108

by Kamal ALJAFARI new filmmaker
2022 / color / sound / 1 screen / 21' 50

How to express what is absent, marginalised and made to disappear through the use of violence? Kamal Aljafari’s work has been revolving around this basic constellation of memory politics for years. In the shots of an elaborately staged Israeli army propaganda film from the 1970s, condensed into frenzied cascades of images, Palestine, imagined solely as a battlefield, once again becomes “a shadow that runs faster than the body that belongs to it”.
– Stephan Settele, Viennale, 2022
