Nazareth - Movie - Festival QUEER

Nazareth

Mike Hoolboom
Documentary : 7' / Archive, Conflict, Politics, Essay

A return to the fateful year of 1948 in Israel, reframed by a single photograph that is taken up one face at a time. Four figures on a hillside bear witness to the revolutionary society, the new state, the new law. Like too many moments of catastrophe, it is filled with invisibility charms and ghost relations. How to speak of what can’t be put into words, how to show what cannot be seen?
