Palestine sound archive - أرشيف الصوتي الفلسطيني | Majazz Project


During the first COVID lockdown, I found myself stuck in Palestine for about eight months, unable to return to UK. Since 2012, I had not spent that much time in my family home in Jenin in the northern of the West Bank. The experience was hard, bittersweet, healing, and nostalgic. Wandering around flea markets and familiar old shops, I rediscovered Tariq Cassettes, a little music shop that was popular when I was growing up. It was right next to my school, so after the bell rang, we used to wait in line to spend our pocket money and buy new tapes for five shekels. The man who ran it was my grandmother’s neighbor, so I knew his face well. I saw that the shop was shuttered, so I knocked on the owner’s door and asked whether he still had any tapes for sale.

🇵🇸 Palestine Cinema | Palestine Cinema movie database

In 2013 a few movie lovers concerned with the plight of Palestinians, decided to make a database containing references to movies that show their real situation. Because who are those Palestinians? And how come they have to live in their home country - now largely Israel - as second-hand citizens or under military occupation, or as refugees elsewhere? Much is known, especially in the West, about the background of the origin of the state of Israel, but not about the consequences the establishment of this state had - and still has - for the original inhabitants: the Palestinians. In addition, Israel is conducting a successful PR war against the Palestinians in all kinds of media, including movies, in which the roles have been reversed with Israel as the victim and ‘them’ as the perpetrators. So, we thought it was high time to give more space to the Palestinian vision, including through the medium of film.

🇵🇸 “Looted & Hidden”: Israel's Futile Attempts to Erase Palestinian History | Institute for Palestine Studies –

Israel sought to bury prints and film reels that proved false the Zionist claim that Palestine was “a land without a people.”

Rona Sela’s film “Looted & Hidden” delves into the history of Palestinian #photography and cinema archives that were looted by Israeli soldiers and civilians during the 1948-49 Nakba and the 1982 siege of Beirut. Constructed as a film-essay told through a series of narrated letters exchanged between Sela and Palestinians who share a connection with the stolen material, the film brings to life a rich visual #archive Israel has sought to hide from public view. The documentary unfolds against a rolling backdrop of images unearthed through years of researching Israeli military archives and sheds light on a rarely scene dimension of Palestinian struggle against erasure.
