The screening program Broken Cameras brings together ten films reflecting Palestine’s long-standing history of loss. Carrying its title from Emad Burnat and Guy Davidi’s 5 Broken Cameras, the program looks into the social, political, and ecological dimensions of the colonial practice of domination through a selection of films that expand the boundaries of fiction and documentary.
The politics of displacement refers not only to the loss of one’s land or home but also to the erasure of memory, archival gaps, ecological destruction, and the obliteration of indigenous knowledge. Featuring films by Basma Alsharif, Eric Baudelaire, CAMP, Inas Halabi, Jumana Manna, Carol Mansour, Emad Burnat, and Guy Davidi, the selection addresses different aspects of loss and captures a visual record of a contested geography. The archival footage, testimonies, and fictional narratives featured in the films foreground what is left out of the official historiography, recalling individual and collective accounts back into the collective memory.
Following the free-admission screenings between April 4-27 in the Walk-in Cinema at Salt Beyoğlu, all films will be accessible online from April 29 to May 5 via saltonline.org. The films will be streamed in their original language with Turkish subtitles.
Broken Cameras is programmed by Fatma Çolakoğlu, Eylül Şenses, and Gülce Özkara from Salt.
