The QMRA workshop, the institute of the Doha Institute, will start on Friday with the display of the Arab Cinema crop – including many Palestinian projects in time – and a group of the best professionals in the industry who are expected to make trips to the Qatari capital.
The outstanding titles that will be revealed in Doha-which played a major role in mediation efforts between Hamas and Israel-include science fiction excitement “on the anniversary of times” (see the concept that is still above), which is the first feature of the Danish and Palestinian artist Larissa Sansor, who represented Denmark in the fifth fifth visual arts. The film was appointed 30 years from now when, after the “End of the Environmental World”, a woman and her husband live a peaceful life at the restricted Bethlehem house, according to the summary.
“In the memory”, which is currently shot, produced by Anna Kohank from Norway (“the act of killing”) and is achieved in the complexities of memory, shock, heritage and national identity – “global topics inspired by the situation in Palestine,” Sanor says in the statement of its director.
“It explores how myths form our past and examine the foundations of the same identity,” Sansour continues. “Who controls the accounts that we tell about ourselves as a people? Which part of ourselves will lose it without those stories? Can we leave behind a complex heritage that creates a happier life, and are these sacrifices that deserve to be made?”
Another Palestinian project that is unveiled is the TV series “DIS” closed by Aida Kadan, a member of the group Rawiyat, by the Arab outputs: Sisters in Film. The exhibition, which is development, is about a journalist reveals “an illegal condemnation of five Palestinian men, only to be silent by a system designed to bury the truth,” according to the summary.
Qumra, an Arabic word believed to be the origin of the word “camera”, is dedicated to supporting the first and second work by Arab managers but also supports some projects from other parts of the world. Through individual meetings and main chapters, guides will sponsor the talent attached to 49 projects-27 of which are feature films-development registration or after production.
The artistic advisor to the event is the Palestinian director Ilya Suleiman, who knows about the films dealing with the long Arab Israeli conflicts and their impact such as “divine intervention”, “the time that remains”, and recently “it must be Heaven”, which was first shown in 2019.
