memories in palestine
For the people of the West Bank, memory is everything. Help us produce a documentary that celebrates the Palestinians' memory as resistance. But who are we? And how will we do this? Please let us explain!
We are Ross Domoney and Antonis Vradis, a film-maker and academic by trade. In April 2024, we travelled to the Tulkarm area of the West Bank, determined to capture the plight of the Palestinian people out of respect, inspiration and support for their struggle.
We inadvertently came across the Israeli army’s largest operation in the West Bank since the Second Intifada, leaving behind 14 dead, scores of injured and a community in ruins.
We quickly realised that memory is central to the Palestinian experience. We have collected hours upon hours of footage capturing the preamble to, and the aftermath of the army’s raid. But we also interviewed the residents at length, focusing on their memories of the 1948 Nakba and homes fled, memories of friends and comrades lost, and memories of past, more peaceful lives.
With your support, the money raised from this campaign will allow us to complete the post-production of this film. The costs we need to cover are for:
An editor
A sound composer
A colour grade and soundmix
Once the editing of this film is completed, we will have a full online release followed by global screenings that will take place alongside talks hosted by academics, journalists and activists.
Any funds received beyond our funding goal will be used to directly and materially support the plight of the wonderful people of Nur Shams.
Please consider supporting this cause. And remember: free Palestine!
