Basma Alsharif – Ouroboros (2017)
Synopsis
An homage to the Gaza Strip, Ouroboros follows a man through five different landscapes, upending mass-mediated representation of trauma. A journey outside of time, marking the end as the beginning, exploring the subject of the eternal return and how we move forward when all is lost.
Next in our series on “filmmakers in transit” in collaboration with Nang is the entrancing feature-length debut by nomad artist Basma Alsharif. Inspired by the mythological figure of a snake devouring its own tail, Ourobouros tackles historical causality by interrogating the cyclic nature of time.
