Foedora, dir. Judith Abensour, France 2021, 80 min.
In May 2016, a new museum dedicated to Palestinian history and culture opened in Ramallah. Inaugurated with no exhibition, the museum remained empty for several months until a first exhibition devoted to Jerusalem was organised.
The film takes place over this transition period, during the construction of a dream city, in sharp contrast with a political reality that makes the future prospects for a Palestinian State increasingly hypothetical.
Judith Abensour’s delicate work echoes and reflects on current events; presented in a context marked by violence in the region, but also by a new form of questioning about the place of cultural institutions in our society.
This UK Premiere is followed by a pre-recorded conversation between film director Judith Abensour and independent curator, writer and academic Nat Muller.
Foedora is an ICA Exclusive project.
Additional screenings of Foedora run from Wednesday 7 July
