Director: Kamal Aljafari
Palestine, Germany, 2024, 15', DCP, color
Non-verbal 

The camera's eye returns obsessively to the same places, a vertical perspective that imposes control, the possession of archaeological sites, and stones lying for thousands of years in the desert. The places it observes, however, are not deserted: we see as if glimpsed from afar, the peasants working the land, themselves transformed into the landscape. Something disturbs the stillness of the place: explosions on land and in the sea prepare the ground for new cities with new names, and new forests. This landscape is transformed into a scenography of appropriation.

*This film will be screened alongside the documentary “A Fidai Film”.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
