ALFILM SHORTS: On Militarization

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

From Bonaparte’s campaigns in Egypt to American oil interests in Northern Syria, the colonization of Arab lands has taken different forms across centuries. This rich collection of short films spanning eras and geographies highlights how militarization shapes not only the land and the mind but the very experience of time itself through different filmic approaches. Together, they paint a poetic tale not devoid of the spirit of resilience against a reality of increased securitization, land grabs, and dispossession.

Followed by a film talk with Yazan Rabee (director of Back).
