WIDEAWAKE

Orla Barry
Language, in written as well as in spoken form, constitutes the essence of Orla Barry’s work.

THE SUN AND THE LOOKING GLASS - FOR ONE EASILY FORGETS BUT THE TREE REMEMBERS

Miléna Desse
On a land perpetually threatened by colonial appropriation, the transmission of history and narratives plays a peculiar and vital role. The Sun and the Looking Glass - for one easily forgets but the tree remembers is an essay-film which paints a portrait of a place on a hill above Ein Qiniya, a Palestinian village in the West Bank, with two houses from the late Ottoman period...
