Book tickets
This double bill returns to archival images of Palestine to ask how colonial histories are recorded, remembered and reclaimed. Through found footage and acts of cinematic re-encounter, Partition and The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing challenge inherited ways of seeing and listening, tracing the enduring connections between image, land, displacement and Palestinian presence.
Partition, dir. Diana Allan, Palestine/Lebanon/Canada 2025, 61 min.
Found footage from the British occupation of Palestine is woven together with audio recorded with Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. Through asynchronous sound and dialectical montage, Partition disrupts colonial ways of seeing, recentering Palestinian voices while tracing continuities between the colonial past and the unstable realities of the present.
The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing, dir. Theo Panagopoulos, Scotland 2025, 17 min.
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 essay film questions the role of image-making as a tool of both testimony and violence when connected to entanglements between people and land.
This session is followed by a screen talk with Diana Allan and Theo Panagopoulos.
