Currently on display at P21 Gallery, London. The Found Archive of Hani Jawherieh, traces the personal collection of the Palestinian iconic photographer and cinematographer who’s work shaped Palestinian image of the seventies. Although most of Jawherieh’s work was looted in 1982, by the Israeli army, during it’s invasion to Lebanon, yet some of his work and his own personal collection was salvaged by his wife Hind. Through this multimedia work, El Hassan explores what it means to have access to a visual archive that has been forbidden to Palestinians for decades. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1613984471201-U1OJZBOOCBX8PQBFLS45/Photo578056816359_inner_281-754-422-754-281-906-419-906.jpg The Void Project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1555877661355-RLGCS3JIXO4Y8961N2RC/Arab+4.png The Void Project - The Upper Gate (Bawabat AlFawqa) Director Arab Loutfi, 1991, 16 mm, Produced by PLO “Women of the Revolution” series.

The five minutes were featured in Palestine in the Eye (1977) a film made by the Palestine Film Institute to commemorate the life of one of it’s founders. Yet, forty-two years later, what motivates these images takes on a different turn in A Remake of a Revolutionary Film. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1742801761050-UPFGTCQ3QX0AEXDCQCKQ/Outstanding+Award.jpg The Void Project Learn More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1742587980910-5OCJS5ZB7H2YD21YQ60R/Sadi+article+2.jpg The Void Project - Searching the Sites of Memory OverLand https://www.thevoidproject.org/new-events daily 0.75 2019-11-11 https://www.thevoidproject.org/restored-films daily 0.75 2021-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1613315358759-L7439NBFRK4LWQD7B6GO/Arab%2B4.png Restored Films - The Upper Gate MORE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1613315358759-L7439NBFRK4LWQD7B6GO/Arab%2B4.png Restored Films - The Upper Gate MORE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1613322466981-UW55L0DJSX1MFMLCGL1D/Layali+2.png Restored Films - The Road to Palestine (1985, by Layali Bader) https://www.thevoidproject.org/contact-us daily 0.75 2019-05-27 https://www.thevoidproject.org/the-upper-gate daily 0.75 2019-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1558866804343-KFLLNL34PIA6XJ00RTYG/Arab+11.png The Upper Gate - The Upper Gate Arab Loutfi, 1991 https://www.thevoidproject.org/agirlonthebridge daily 0.75 2019-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1576447771606-DNZH0W76U6YDRWZXQUJU/Girl.jpg A Girl on the Bridge A Girl on the Bridge (1967) by Hani Jawherieh https://www.thevoidproject.org/palestinevirtualmuseum daily 0.75 2019-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1576440905167-6OA28B7I1HYJYANO2N4N/IMG_8548.jpg Palestine Virtual Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1558729935970-VYPQCGV552RW941ABMD0/Pic+the+Void+Project.png Palestine Virtual Museum https://www.thevoidproject.org/pep-archive daily 0.75 2019-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1558888246893-CDVAMC5IKPDHX7C678A2/3Cm%2BLess.png Pep Archive - 3 CM Less ….

Filmmaker, Azza El Hassan, who was living at that time, in Ramallah city, developed a fear that her films might be sabotaged or destroyed, if the army came into her home. She decided to move her Film Masters to Jordan. A few weeks later, the army attacked her home and trashed her video tape archive, completely destroying them all. An event which she later documented in her film 3cm Less (2003). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1576443392430-ZOSM0VOFGUBLO8W6IFA0/The+Bridge+%26+Giants Hidden - The Void Project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1576447414299-CZCX5N2B27GQYQVXF0YC/Girl.jpg Hidden - The Void Project - Girl on the Bridge (1967) Girl on the Bridge (1967) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1558916125972-G8OMUBXVFT8X4AF5T981/image-asset.jpeg Hidden - The Void Project - Reclaiming “Glows of Memory” Stolen in 1982, by the Israeli army and taken to TelAviv, to the Israeli Military Archive, GLOW OF MEMORIES, is a film that was made by the famous Palestinian painter Ismael Shammout, in 1972, and produced by the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) in Beirut.

This fixation, triggered by the 1948 uprooting of the Palestinian people from their homeland, has been driven by the state of Israel’s abduction of Palestinian historical material, which continues today. To discuss this “fever” and the urgency to locate and preserve Palestinian archives, The Void Project and the London Palestine Film Festival co-present, Archiving Palestine. This event presents a panel of academics and filmmakers to discuss various individual and institutional efforts towards a formalized Palestinian audiovisual archive. The absence of a safe and secure homeland in which Palestinians can store and accumulate an archive, poses a serious issue when attempting to collect archive. The panelists will address the national threats and security issues that put endanger the efforts towards a national archive. They will also focus on the current role of digital media in offering solutions to today’s Palestinian dilemma. This panel will be preceded by a screening of Yom Al Ard (15’), a film by Monica Maurer composed of recently restored and digitised rare footage shot in the Galilee (Nazareth, Deir Hanna, and Sakhnin) in celebration of 5th Land Day Anniversary in March 1981. The panel will be chaired by filmmaker and founder of The Void Project, Azza El-Hassan. Panelists Monica Maurer, filmmaker Dr Bashar Shammout, audio-archivist Dr Lena Al Jioyyusi, academic Mohammad AlAtar, filmmaker This event is co-produced and co-presented with The Void Project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8af101fb18204e71d03ffb/1558964381775-QIAHK1CCXPJ9LSQ2JYRG/screening%2BScotland.png Up Coming & Past Events - 30 Nov 2018, Glasgow, Scotland.
