Recollection

In Recollection, Kamal Aljafari focuses on archival footage from Israeli and American feature films shot in Jaffa, one of the oldest port cities in the world, between 1960 and 1990. In a gesture of desecration of the colonizer's images, the director erases the protagonists, focusing on the streets and houses. Through sound work and the use of mechanisms such as zooms, small loops, and panoramic shots in various directions, the Palestinian people are reinserted into the city.
