This evening program by SİNEMA team member Lamar Hamdalla brings together experimental documentary and fiction works that reflect on land, memory, and the lasting effects of colonial violence. Through aerial perspectives, intimate spaces, and engagements with landscape, the films trace how occupation, environmental destruction, and enforced disappearance continue to shape bodies, ecologies, and collective memory.  

Shifting between poetic observation and narrative forms, they include everyday acts of care, resilience, and remembrance. Together, the films offer a layered exploration of survival, memory, and the persistence of life under ongoing conditions of erasure. (Lamar Hamadalla)
