Synopsis:
Home Movies Gaza introduces us to the Gaza Strip as a microcosm for the failure of civilisation. In an attempt to describe the everyday of a place that struggles for the most basic of human rights, this video claims a perspective from within the domestic spaces of a territory that is complicated, derelict, and altogether impossible to separate from its political identity.
Basma al-Sharif is an artist and filmmaker of Palestinian heritage. Working nomadically between the Middle East, Europe, and North America, al-Sharif explores cyclical political histories. In films and installations that move backward and forward in history, between place and non-place, she confronts the legacy of colonialism and the experience of displacement with satire, doubt, and hope.
