We No Longer Prefer Mountains (2023)
Director: Inas Halabi
96 minutes
Arabic; Turkish subtitles
We No Longer Prefer Mountains turns the camera to Mount Carmel, upon which the Druze towns of Daliyat al-Karmel and Isfiya are located. The documentary film explores the current situation of the Druze minority on the borders of occupied Palestine, bringing together first-person encounters with various ecological actors. The mountain becomes the protagonist and the witness of how the community has been controlled and reconfigured by Israeli colonial politics since 1948. Informed by fûkeiron, the landscape theory of the Japanese avant-garde filmmakers of the 1960s, the film takes the everyday surroundings as an expression of the sociopolitical realities and the power structures at play.
This debut feature by Palestinian artist and filmmaker Inas Halabi poetically depicts a geographically isolated landscape shaped by coercion and control, weaving together intimate engagements within shared domestic spaces and outdoor environments.
Following the Walk-in Cinema screening on Thursday, April 25 at 19.00, the film will be streamed at saltonline.org between April 29-May 5. The film will be streamed in its original language with Turkish subtitles, and can only be accessed online by audiences in Turkey.
