Overview

Unravels a dual journey – extroverted in place, introverted in memory. Beginning with a photograph taken in the 1950s by historian Jibrail Jabbour the film journeys further into Jabbour’s photographic archives, then into the filmmaker’s personal photo-diary of the Israeli invasion of his hometown, Saida. Zaatari probes that obscure compulsion to document one’s environs, in the everyday or when enduring a potentially fatal event.
