SEPTEMBER FILM: GHOST HUNTING by Raed Andoni (94m)

In order to confront the ghosts that haunt him, Palestinian director Raed Andoni assembles an eclectic group of ex-prisoners to recreate the Al-Moskobiya, Israel’s main interrogation centre, where he was himself jailed at age 18. Day after day, these construction workers, a blacksmith, an architect, an assistant director give shape to their memories of how they survived with grit and a sense of humor. As the walls of the cells rise, the tongues and the emotions loosen.

Raed Andoni is a Palestinian director and producer. He and was born in 1967 in Amman (Jordan). Andoni started his carrier in the film industry in 1997 as independent producer. He cofounded 2 production houses: DAR FILMS in Palestine, and LES FILMS DE ZAYNA in Paris.

His first documentary as a director, IMPROVISATION (2005), is an appealing insight into a Palestinian Joubran family during the Caesarean birth of their musical “Oud” trio.

For his first feature length film, FIX ME (2009) Andoni filmed 20 sessions of his own therapy in Ramallah. Featuring a colorful array of characters, including members of Andoni’s own family, FIX ME explores the need for finding individuality in a place so dominated by collective consciousness and identity. FIX ME was premiered in Sundance and Cannes.

GHOST HUNTING is his second feature film.

ABOUT INSURGENT TRANSMISSIONS

Insurgent Transmissions is a film series highlighting the varied Palestinian experience. Made by contemporary Palestinian makers, the films depict the many ways that Palestinians resist occupation in their daily lives and filmmaking practices. Beginning with Annemarie Jacir’s touching family drama, Wajib, the programming will unfold as a series of transmissions: Jacir chooses the second film, and each subsequent filmmaker will select the next film in the series. The films in Insurgent Transmissions highlight the works of contemporary Palestinian filmmakers, amplifying their voices through their films and the films they see as most urgent in this moment of cultural erasure and genocide.

This monthly series is presented by Mizna monthly at Bryant Lake Bowl. Ticket fees go towards supporting the featured Palestinian filmmakers. Online tickets are $10, tickets at the door are sliding scale $5–15. 

ACCESSIBILITY: To make these events accessible, masks are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. Unfortunately we cannot require masks because Bryant Lake Bowl serves food and drinks inside the screening space. Films will be in Arabic with English subtitles.
