In May we present The Void Project by Palestinian filmmaker Azza El Hassan. Founded in 2018, The Void Project explores the presence and absence of visual archives as a discourse in wartime narrative formation.The project focuses on restoring and reimagining existing and lost films. The selection in this series focus specifically on visualizing Palestine. Jerusalem Flower of All Cities and Palestine in the Eye, two Palestinian films restored by The Void Project and The Making of a Revolutionary Film aka The Place 2 as well as Kings and Extras: Digging for a Palestinian Image, films by El Hassan herself, will screen in-person on May 24, 2023 at 7pm at Trylon Cinema and online between May 25-28.
From the personal photo album of Palestinian photographer and cinematographer Hani Jawhariyyeh, director Azza El-Hassan reconstructs the last five minutes of Jawhariyyeh’s life, who was killed while filming a battle in the mountains in Lebanon. The five minutes were featured in Palestine in the Eye (1977), a film made by the Palestinian Cinema Institute to commemorate the life of one of its founders. Yet, forty two years later, what motivates these images takes on a different turn.
