Palestinian Odyssey: Film Screening of Documentary/Drama "Ouroboros" (2017)
Join us at Steki Metanaston for a screening of the drama/documentary "Ouroboros", by Palestinian artist/filmmaker Basma al-Sharif
This is the second event in the "Palestinian Odyssey" series, exploring themes of Palestinian exile, journey and return through cinema. Through bi-weekly screenings at Steki Metanaston, the series will consider how Palestinian documentarians and experimental filmmakers have navigated states of exile, forced and imagined journeys and the right to return.
Film length: 77 min
Languages: Chinook, English, Italian with English subtitles
Doors open at 7pm, the film will start at 8pm.
An homage to the Gaza Strip, Ouroboros follows a man through five different landscapes, upending mass-mediated representation of trauma. A journey outside of time, marking the end as the beginning, exploring the subject of the eternal return and how we move forward when all is lost.
Based in Los Angeles, Basma Alsharif was born in 1983 in Kuwait to Palestinian parents. Raised in France and the United States, she maintained a strong connection to the Gaza Strip through her family. She received a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Illinois in 2007 and developed her practice nomadically between Gaza, Cairo, Amman, Beirut and Sharjah.
