Book tickets
London Palestine Film Festival 2025
The footage from three MiniDV tapes is now a testament to a place and time that no longer exists. What started as a search for a former prison mate from 1989 – a man lost to time and war – led to an unexpected road trip from the north to the south of Gaza with Hasan, a local guide whose fate remains unknown. As the camera moves through Gaza’s streets and landscapes, it records fleeting moments of everyday life – fragments of a reality now irreversibly altered. Through this material, Aljafari reflects on absence, belonging, and the slow erasure of a world both personal and public, asking: What does it mean to reclaim memory when so much has been lost?
Followed by a Q&A with director Kamal Aljafari.
