Eight Palestinian families living in and around Jerusalem city use their TV screens to look out into their neighbourhood, via a CCTV camera mounted on the rooftops of their homes, tripods made of stones. A film production made possible without acknowledging or seeking permission from the Israeli state, and by re-orienting both operational images and subject-positions of citizens. Instead of bearing witness in the usual way, these families control the cameras from their homes; a voice finds an image, an image is probed beneath its surface, thoughts withdraw or rebound, as Palestinians evaluate the nature of their distance from others. This feature-film is part of a long body of experimental works by CAMP. The film has been screened in museums and film festivals worldwide, including at the Jerusalem Show, Flaherty Seminar, Sharjah Biennial and at the opening exhibition of the Palestine Museum.
