➢ The Clothesline by Alia Arsoughli (Palestine - 2002 - 14 min) For 21 days, a woman is imprisoned in her apartment during the Israeli invasion of Ramallah, March 2002. In an orgy of fear and terror, her hidden demons surface. Throughout, her laundry hangs outside... a witness to the events outside and inside the apartment. ➢ Dahiet el Barieh, District of the Post Office by Rosalind Nashashibi (UK I 2002 I 6 min) Filmed in a West Bank neighborhood designed by her architect grandfather in 1956 and now marooned behind an army checkpoint, the film quietly follows aimless lives, lads playing football, a bored child setting fire to a heap of rubbish. ➢ Hreash House, by Rosalind Nashashibi (UK I 2004 I 21 min) Hreash House shows the preparations for Eid al-Fitr -celebrating the end of Ramadan- of an extended family living in Nazareth. ➢ Electrical Gaza, by Rosalind Nashashibi (UK I 2015 I 17 min) In Electrical Gaza, Nashashibi combines her images of Gaza and the repairman, drivers and translator who accompanied her there, with animated scenes. She presents Gaza as a mythical place; isolated, suspended in time, difficult to access and very intense. Discussion with Rosalind Nashashibi filmmaker and painter based in London, of Palestinian and Northern Irish origin.
