He is displaced from his birthplace Haifa seeking refuge in Beirut, and again to Zirku Island, for work on an offshore oil platform and work camp in the Arab Gulf. "A Stone’s Throw" trespasses borders to reveal an emotional and material proximity between the extraction of oil and labour in the region and the Zionist colonization of Palestine. The film rehearses a history of the Palestinian resistance when, in 1936, the oil labourers of Haifa blow up a BP pipeline. https://razanalsalah.com/canada-park-1 Fri, 07 May 2021 16:03:32 +0000 Razan AlSalah https://razanalsalah.com/canada-park-1 I walk on snow to fall unto the desert.

Her work invstigates the material aesthetics of disappearance of indigenous bodies, narratives and histories in colonial image worlds. Her films are both ghostly trespasses and seeping ruptures of the colonial image, that functions as another border, another wall. She thinks of her creative process as a collective recollection in a circle of relations with one another -and the unknown.  Her films have screened at Cinema Days Palestine (Sunbird Award for Best Short 2017), RIDM (Best National Short or Medium Length Film 2024),  doc Lisboa, FID Marseille,Prismatic Ground, Yamagata and Taiwan International Documentary Film Festivals, Blackstar, Open City Docs London, and  Singapore, Valdivia, Melbourne, Glasgow and Beirut International, among others. Razan is a member of Regards Palestiniens film collective and teaches film at Concordia University.
