WITH DIRECTOR THÉO PANAGOPOULOS IN ATTENDANCE THE DIARY OF A SKY Lebanon | 2024 | 44 min | Documentary The Diary of a Sky unfolds an atmospheric symphony of violence over Beirut, revealing the haunting fusion of incessant Israeli military flights and the hum of generators during blackouts. This 44-minute video essay plunges viewers into a chilling chronicle of daily life transformed by the weaponization of the air, where the terror of repeated incursions becomes a disconcertingly banal backdrop. Director: Lawrence Abu Hamdan Production: Lawrence Abu Hamdan THE FLOWERS STAND SILENTLY, WITNESSING United Kingdom | 2024 | 17 min | Documentary When a filmmaker of Palestinian descent based in Scotland unearths a rarely-seen Scottish film archive of Palestinian wildflowers, he decides to reclaim the footage. This tender film essay questions the role of image-making as a tool of both testimony and violence when connected to entanglements between people and the land. Director: Théo Panagopoulos Production: Marissa Keating
