Shorts Program 3:

Followed by a film talk with directors Qusay Awad & Majid Al-Remaihi

This film program confronts decades of colonial rule and structural neglect across a number of different sites of decay and ecological disaster. Yet it also contemplates various ways of germinating seeds for potential repair, future redemption, and the hope for reparation. (ALFILM)
