A Fidai Film
A Fidai Film
Kamal Aljafari, Palestine, Germany, Qatar, Brazil, France, 2024, 78’
The film combines visual interventions in official Israeli archives and parts of the Palestinian archive seized by the Israeli army in Beirut in 1982.
In the summer of 1982, the Israeli army invaded Beirut. During this time, it raided the Palestinian Research Center and looted its entire archive. The archive contained historical documents of Palestine, including a collection of still and moving images.Taking this as a premise, ‘A Fidai Film’ aims to create a counter-narrative to this loss, presenting a form of cinematic sabotage that seeks to reclaim and restore the looted memories of Palestinian history. It’s a poignant exploration of identity, memory, and resistance, told through a unique blend of documentary and experimental filmmaking techniques.
