The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing




A still of a pink flower.



When a Palestinian filmmaker based in Scotland unearths a rarely seen Scottish film archive of Palestinian wildflowers, he decides to reclaim the footage. This tender essay film questions the role of image making as a tool of both testimony and violence when connected to entanglements between people and land.
