Filmscreening: The Presence of Absence in the Ruins of Kafr
Bir'im - by John
Halaka
The film focus on the story of the victims of a village in the Galilee
which was destroyed during the Nakba.
Shot on location amid Kafr
Bir’im’s ruins and cemetery, located in Northern Galilee, Halaka interviews
Ibrahim Essa, an elder Palestinian man and poet, who survived Al-Nakba. Halaka
focuses on the stone ruins of houses, wild grass, flowers, shrubs, and bushes
that sway in the wind. When he confesses that the stone ruins and the trees
spoke to him, his footage brings this feeling home.
