A Night We Held Between
This film takes the ancient tale of the Minoan Labyrinth as historical inspiration, connecting mythology to the present socio-political reality in Palestine. Set in particular ancient sites across Palestine—caves, carved holes, underground passages, and wild valleys—the land, and landscape become the film’s main characters. Timeless haunting scenes evoke that which is lost, forgotten or forsaken, while repetition and ritual connect to ancient gestures related to goddesses, caves and offerings – gestures that connect back to the present and open up spaces for the communal expression of connection to land and culture across time and space.
