November 17th, 2023 Focus Bidayyat : New Beginnings

Panel : Intimate Histories / Interior Documentary

Many of the nonfiction films produced during the Syrian revolution offer intimate histories, picturing familial, domestic, and intergenerational bonds during the war. This roundtable provides a space to reflect on the making and afterlives of those films, on the affective dimensions of dislocation and exile, and how nonfiction cinema can offer virtual worlds to sustain imaginaries across the diaspora.

Participants: Qutaiba Barhamji, Kareem Estefan, Mohammad Ali Atassi, Rania Stephan
Moderated by : Diana Allan

This activity is free, will be held in English and is presented as part of the Focus Bidayyat : New Beginnings, presented in collaboration with World Records, and with the support of Critical Media Lab McGill and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
