Creative Interruptions<\/a> and OTO wish to offer this opportunity for artists and academics in Sheffield to meet and join a discussion about Palestine, give insight into the ways in which Palestine has been documented across the decades and expand the creative dialogue between Sheffield and Palestinian filmmakers and artists.<\/p>\n

OTO is a practice-led screening and discussion group on current debates around the image. Through shared viewing and dialogue our aim is to investigate, probe and touch the surface, edges and centres of images through their modes of production, divergent materialities and the methods and systems of circulation. We will dig into and move beyond the idea of interpreting signs to explore current image manifestations, discourses and their media entanglement and exhibition praxis. OTO is led by Michelle Atherton<\/a> and Rose Butler<\/a>, Fine Art, Sheffield Hallam University.<\/p>\n

Come and hear about the AHRC funded Creative Interruptions<\/a> project and the work of Palestinian filmmakers from different parts of Palestine. Dr Anandi Ramamurthy (Reader in Post-Colonial Cultures, Sheffield Hallam University)<\/a> will introduce the wider work of the project and its attempt to challenge the erasure of Palestinian cultures and film histories.<\/p>\n

Places are limited and must be reserved by registering through Eventbrite <\/strong>here<\/a>. Refreshments will be provided.<\/p>\n

There will be a screening of Glow of Memories (dir Shammout) 11 mins<\/p>\n

Film director Mahassen Nasser Eldin<\/a> will talk about her work and the ways in which she has employed creativity to tell hidden stories and overcome the complex contexts within which they produce their work.<\/p>\n

We will also introduce the work of directors Salim Abu Jabal and Yousef Nateel who have worked with the project. The new films produced by Nasser Eldin, Abu Jabal and Nateel will be screened in Sheffield<\/a> as part of the Migration Matters Festival on 22 June.<\/p>\n

Jerusalem-born filmmaker Mahasen Nasser-Eldin<\/a> tells stories of resistance and resilience, crafting carefully researched and scripted narratives that restore new life to forgotten figures and celebrate those on the margins of society. A meticulous researcher, Mahasen specializes in reconstructing and scripting historical narratives using audio and visual archives. Her research interest focuses on the use of film in the writing of historical narratives. Her films have screened locally and internationally. Mahasen holds an MA degree in filmmaking from Goldsmiths College in London and another MA in Arab Studies from Georgetown University in Washington, DC. She is a lecturer in visual cultures and film production at Bethlehem’s Dar al-Kalima University College of Arts and Culture.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
