Basma al-Sharif on Another Screen - For a Free Palestine

A conversation with Basma Alsharif about four of her short films: FARTHER THAN THE EYE CAN SEE, HOME MOVIE GAZA, WE BEGAN BY MEASURING DISTANCE, and OH PERSECUTED, which were programmed in 2021 on Another Screen, FOR A FREE PALESTINE: Films by Palestinian Women, curated by Daniella Shreir.  Basma al-Sharif is a visual artist and filmmaker raised as something of a nomad between Kuwait, France, the US, and the Gaza Strip. Her work straddles that line between cinema and installation, centering on the human condition in relation to shifting geopolitical landscapes and natural environments.Reference Links: “FOR A FREE PALESTINE: Films by Palestinian Women”Donating to Another Screen is encouraged, which will go towards supporting organizations on the ground, as well as filmmaking and cultural programs in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.More about the BDS Movement Episode TranscriptFor show notes, visit docsinorbit.com and be sure to follow us on social media @docsinorbit
