RESISTANCE[S] Vol. II is collection of experimental film and video art from the Middle East and North Africa. Featuring nine artists from a variety of cultural and disciplinary backgrounds, these intimite, poetic, and documentary works are witness to the region’s complexity, vitality, and diversity of creative energies. Distanced from the usual stereotypes, the artists aim to explore existential, political, and aesthetic issues of our time while opening up to new narrative perspectives that break with our media’s monotonous and repetitive imagery.
