A LAND WITH A PEOPLE:
A PALESTINIAN COUNTERNARRATIVE
A participatory film developed with the Palestinian diaspora in Athens, Greece during the "Performing Diasporic Archival Counternarrartives" workshop. It reclaims recently unearthed 1935 film archive "Tiberias 1935" from the National Library of Scotland, collaboratively reanimating Palestinian presence in historical landscapes from which they have been erased.
