Until we became fire and fire us 2023 Directed by Basel Abbas , Ruanne Abou-Rahme
The film reflects on past and current forms of dispossession and erasure in Palestine. From indigenous plants that resist uprooting, to ancient stones that resurface from colonial concrete, to sites where violent events and sparks of freedom occurred, to song lyrics about love and loss or traditional dances performed across the diaspora, the work rekindles the traces of alienated existences and transforms them into an intergenerational means for spiritual and bodily reconnection as much as for historical reconstruction.
