Drawing from a rare archive of colour 16mm footage from 1930s Palestine, the film revisits seemingly idyllic landscapes to reveal what has been erased: the Palestinian people who inhabited them. Moving between colonial archives and living memories, Panagopoulos reflects on land, belonging and the narratives that shape a territory. A delicate essay on the relationship between image, absence and memory.

In Foragers, Jumana Manna explores the ancestral practice of gathering wild plants in Palestine, following communities who continue to harvest species such as akkoub and za’atar despite restrictions imposed by Israeli authorities. Blending documentary, fiction and humour, the film reveals the connection between people, land and knowledge passed down through generations. A delicate portrait of sovereignty, memory and resistance through the relationship with the land.
