Film: Memory & Memorialization - Remembering the Nakba
May 13, 2010
The screening of two short videos and a moderated discussion explores the basis of memory and the human need to memorialize. For many the Nakba references a specific history, for others it provokes questions of memory and personal loss, of collective loss and finally, the loss of truth or recorded reality. The filmmakers will be in attendance.
In the short video, Deir Yassin Remembered, b.h. Yael considers the pivotal repercussions of the massacre at Deir Yassin in 1948 resulting in Palestinian dispossession. Though Deir Yassin has been only partially acknowledged by Israel, many other massacres of the time have not. The video gives an account of what happened at Deir Yassin, and argues for the need for acknowledgment and commemoration. Deir Yassin Remembered is part of Palestine Trilogy.
Remembering the Dismembered by Vicky Moufawad-Paul weaves family interviews, poetry and song with archival footage and the filmmaker's return to her grandmother's village, Al-Bassa, in the north of Palestine. Ultimately about memorialization, loss and salvage, the filmmaker uses the technique and the concept of the fragment as the emblem of diasporic identity.
The videos will be followed by a moderated discussion and an open conversation with the audience exploring the evening's themes and questions
