The Field

Produced by the Iraqi Cinema and Theatre Institute, this short fiction film was made as a melody for resistance. With no dialogue, and no character to follow their story, the film addresses the question of Palestine through a story of a farmer and his family, who were forced to stop plowing their land because of the sudden arrival of Israeli army vehicles. This film was recovered as a part of a cache of archival films about various aspects of the Palestinian liberation movements that were found in Tokyo and therefore dubbed the “Tokyo Reels.”
