Book of Flock

2015 • 25 min • Hong Kong

When a city becomes less accessible and appealing, is intergalactic immigration the only solution? A young couple comes on board a spaceship to reach their utopia. There had been both subtle and crude instances of suppressions, mostly to establish dominance, from the authority which they endured with determination. However, the theft of an important literature “Book of Flock” turned their voyage into upheavals and jeopardized their dreams. Though stylish in a futuristic tone, the fable may be as timeless as the message conveyed in the “Book of Flock”: the sadly familiar tactics by the totalitarian authority to fool the people and suppress their free will.

Have you ever killed a bear - or Becoming Jamila

2015 • 25 min • Lebanon

A video that uses the history of a magazine – Cairo’s Al-Hilal ‘50s and ‘60s collection – as the starting point for an inquiry into Jamila Bouhired, the Algerian freedom fighter. An actress designated to play her role is showing the magazine’s covers to the camera. From the different representations of Jamila in cinema to her assimilation and promotion through the magazine, the performance attempts to look at the history of socialist projects in Egypt, anti-colonial wars in Algeria, and the way they have promoted and marginalized feminist projects. The clear gender division used to marginalize women from the public sphere was overcome for a short moment during the Algerian war of independence (Jamila becoming its icon). Different voices and film and print material are used to explore this history. What does it mean to play the role of the freedom fighter? What does it mean to become an icon?
