Underneath the walls and the fences, the checkpoints and the watchtowers, the waters never cease to flow, eroding the (infra)structures of oppression. In this double-bill, two filmmakers set their gaze upon the cityscapes of Bethlehem and Berlin, while zooming in on the architectural marks left by the state violence.
Whether using archives to trace the histories of a house next to the West Bank wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territories or riding a bike to remap the divided German capital, spatial politics are here reframed through the female gaze that is as radical as it is poetic - and the moving images become a way to set ourselves free.
