Film Screening: boundless returns

Centre A is excited to announce the film screening: boundless returns, bringing together four films by the artists Rehab Nazzal, Basel Abbas & Ruanne Abou-Rahme, Razan AlSalah, and Larissa Sansour.

Looking to how Palestinian artists are employing lens-based mediums to disrupt colonial framings and contribute to a living archive of resistance—the artists in this series turn to the language and potential of vegetation, archaeology, digital mapping, and memory as potent spaces to assert Palestinian presence, while questioning the limits and possibilities conjured by these returns. 

The films will be on view in Centre A’s New Media Gallery from November 30 to December 14, with an official screening held on November 23 followed by a conversation with Basel and Ruanne.

A PDF version of the film screening pamphlet containing the curatorial essay and list of films can be viewed HERE.
