[anan]

Synopsis

Echoing the title of its precursor film, Un Âne—“a donkey” in French–, [anan] refers to the phonetic sound of the word “cloud” in Hebrew. The film moves through route 3199 in the Negev desert in southern Israel/colonised Palestine—a route followed and filmed by renowned filmmaker Chantal Akerman around her untimely death in 2015. A work invested in an attempt to mourn Akerman in a time of ravaging genocide that creates an inter-generational trauma. A reckoning with the blind spot of European Jewry towards the settler colonisation of Palestine by Zionism and the ongoing Nakba.
