WHAT EXISTED YESTERDAY MIGHT DISAPPEAR TOMORROW
Curated by Hind Mezaina
The past haunts the present in this film program about photography and cinema, featuring four short films by Hisham Bizri, Akram Zaatari, Meyar Al Roumi, and Joana Hadjithomas/Khalil Joriege. These films delve into a distant or recent past and their consequences today on what was and what could have been.
WHAT EXISTED YESTERDAY MIGHT DISAPPEAR TOMORROW is co-presented by ArteEast and Tribe. This screening is part of the legacy program Unpacking the ArteArchive, which preserves and presents over 17 years of film and video programming by ArteEast.
