A non-academic, irreverent performance lecture on "absence" as an essential creative and political component of radical / experimental documentary filmmaking. Journeying through music, literature, dance, film, and architecture, Saeed will examine how certainty and presence - requirements of capitalist, industrial filmmaking - are wholly inadequate to represent the Palestine of today and how these elements can be challenged and contradicted to devise new ways of storytelling.
