In collaboration with Odeh Films, the Public Programme of the A. M. Qattan Foundation launched the first and second editions of the Mobile Cinema programme in the Furush Beit Dajan village in the Jordan Valley as well as in Tulkarem city. The event was initiated with the screening of Ghost Hunting, a film by Palestinian director Raed Andoni.
The Mobile Cinema programme targets Palestinian communities in Area C as well as marginalised areas. It aims at reviving and bringing the cinema culture back to the cultural agenda by screening films to several age groups and launching a dialogue with the public audience about these films.
The programme is part of the Films Track, a key component of the group exhibition Subcontracted Nations. Other components include lectures, performances, and short films related to the exhibition’s theme. Subcontracted Nations will be inaugurated in late June 2018.
Subcontracted Nations attempts to unpack multi-layered questions on the contemporary concept of the nation, its relation to political structures, neoliberal economy, and societies. To do so, the exhibition looks into the historical transformation of the concept of the state, its public service policies, and various political forms which govern the relation between the people and the state.
