Directors Spotlight

They are looking down towards the camera with blank expressions, several strands of hair covering one of their eyes. Atop their head draped is a patterned scarf called a keffiyeh, with branches and a blank sky peeking out from the background.](https://wp.blackstarfest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Experimental_AStonesThrow__alsalah.razan_.hs_new-scaled-e1719976514382-278x278.jpeg)
Razan AlSalah
Director
Razan is a Palestinian artist and teacher based in Tiotiake/Montreal. Her films work with the material aesthetics of appearance and disappearance of indigenous bodies, narratives and histories in colonial image worlds. She often works with sound-images to infiltrate borders that have severed us from the land. Her films are both ghostly trespasses, and seeping ruptures, of the colonial image, that functions as a border, as a wall. She thinks of her creative process as a circle of relations with artists, friends, family, technology, images, plants, objects and sounds…These relations become different points of entry and exit into elsewheres here, where colonialism no longer makes sense.
