Please note: this is a last minute change to programme from the original Archival Resistance audio-visual immersive session as Mo'min can no longer join us at the festival. Please be aware that because of this the films will not be captioned. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
We will gather to watch/listen to a selection of short films and audio recordings from the Palestinian Sound Archive.
Palestinian Sound Archive is a celebration of music, spoken word and album artwork from historic Palestine. It is part of Majazz Project, a Palestinian-led record label and research platform founded by actor, director and filmmaker Mo’min Swaitat.
Over several years, Mo’min amassed an extensive archive of cassettes and vinyl records from Palestine and beyond, spanning everything from field recordings of Bedouin weddings to revolutionary albums from the First and Second Intifadas, instrumental tracks, poetry, soul, folk songs and jazz. Many of these were acquired from a former record label in Mo’min’s hometown Jenin, in the north of the West Bank. Palestinian Sound Archive was born out of the archive and is focused on sampling, remixing and reissuing vintage Palestinian and Arab albums, shedding new light on the richness and diversity of Palestinian / Arab cultural and musical heritage.
