Overview

Director: Omnia Sabry
Egypt
Experimental | 7 min

This film explores and questions the limitations of the materialities of light-sensitive surfaces and their ability to document our experiences and realities. Using the same surfaces that are being questioned, through analogue, digital and self-made sensors, An erased filmic memory - a long way to nowhere tries to reconstruct personal memories and events from a period of time that the artist herself cannot fully remember.

This film is part of Programme 9, screening on Tuesday 6:00 pm, 17 December 2019 in Al Hamra Cinema.
