    We No Longer Prefer Mountains

    Inas HALABI 2023 Palestine, Netherlands, Belgium color 96min DCP
    The film begins with an ascent of Mount Carmel, home to the Druze towns of Daliyat el Carmel and Isfiya, drawing the viewer into a world of geographical isolation and a place shaped by coercion and control. Interweaving intimate engagements with community members in shared domestic spaces and outdoor environments, the film explores how the internal politics of the Druze have been reconfigured and reshaped since 1948, while opening up possibilities for imagining alternative futures.
