Lettres à Francine
2002 | 43min - Language: English and French with English subtitles

The film is based on photographs taken during a two-year stay in Turkey and a soundtrack relating the trip within the country. Interwoven with this narrative are images and conversations portraying the author's illness, which was diagnosed upon his return. This is an intimate film that plays with the layering of sounds and images.

Jours Tranquilles en Palestine
1998 | 13min - Language: French with English subtitles

Of Palestine, we know the violence and suffering. The film tells another story: the story of a 'pre-Israeli' society happily living on its land. Using old photographs found by the Arab Image Foundation and the voice of five women who were born in Palestine before 1948, the film recalls ordinary moments of life.
