Some Strings
Each memory that is freed is the first step for all memories to gather——Edouard Glissant
From Dec 5 - 24 2024, we will screen 5-hour film collection from “Some Strings”
𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲, where poet and teacher Refaat Alareer was targeted by Israeli strikes along with seven members of his family. In his last poem, If I Must Die, published five weeks before his murder, Refaat Alareer calls those who should live to create a kite - a long-standing object of resistance- with bits of string and Some Strings, just like each of his readers, receives it as a legacy.
The kites here are a diversity of views that share a space against the silences, international indifference and continued approval of states, which are already fabricating memorial confusions about the greatest civilian massacre of the 21st century.
The systematic extermination of the Palestinian people on Palestinian soil is taking place before our very eyes, and international diplomacy is failing to prevent war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocidal actions.
Launched in March 2024, Some Strings has so far brought together over 100 artists, producing nearly 6 hours of short films, shown since June 25 and with no limit on dates, all over the world: cinemas and festivals as pre-programs or continuously. Some Strings can be adapted to all kinds of community spaces, protest camps and arts centers.
