Join us for the third in our CinemARC: Borderzone event series. This screening will include the Sundance Award Winning film by Scottish filmmaker Theo Panagopolous, The Flowers Stand Silently Witnessing.
In companion to the films, we will be joined by a panel of speakers to discuss the historical and contemporary filmic contexts of global border zones and the significance of borders in imagined and physical space.
Borderzone explores the concept of borders, both physical and metaphorical. It features short films from international artists with the aim to provoke conversations about themes around the impact of borders on individuals and communities.
The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing | Theo Pangopoulous | 15 minutes
When a Palestinian filmmaker based in Scotland unearths a rarely-seen Scottish film archive of Palestinian wild flowers, he decides to reclaim the footage. This tender film essay questions the role of image-making as a tool of both testimony and violence when connected to entanglements between people and the land.
More films and speakers will be announced soon.
