On Photography, Dispossession and Times of Struggle, 2017
Taking the idea of loss and dispossession as a starting point, this film, based on interviews that Akram Zaatari made between 1999 and 2000, is a reflection on photography and its people. It looks at the position of the individual within the context of war and displacement, as well as how photographs have become the sole record of that displacement, at the risk of them being dispersed as well.
