Electrical Gaza (Rosalind Nashashibi, 2015, 17’53”)
This film recreates Gaza as an enchanted place behind sealed borders, defined by danger and division, yet brimming with beauty and life. Shot before the Israeli assault on the area in 2014, it shows scenes from the region in which, for once, violence is not the main focal point. Her camera revels in everyday life there: children playing in an alleyway, horses bathing in the scorching blue waters of the Mediterranean, and men preparing falafel while singing together in a living room.
Dahiet Al Bareed (Post Office District) (Rosalind Nashashibi, 2002, 7 minutes).
During one slow, hot afternoon in a neighborhood built to become a utopian suburb for employees of the Palestinian Post Office, we see a place that has become a lawless no-man’s-land lying between occupied East Jerusalem and Ramallah.
