    Chantal AKERMAN refused to make cinema a political tool, often framing Jewish identity through themes of drift and isolation. But does depoliticization become a stance itself? This two-part video letter mirrors her image-sound split. One revisits the desolate landscape of No Home Movie, revealing it as Palestine’s Al-Naqab desert, now a zone colonized by Israel. The other travels to Masada, a Jewish heritage site, linking to Là-bas and today’s Gaza. As both tribute and critique, the film gently yet pointedly exposes the blind spots in a master’s gaze.

    The Israeli-born and Belgium-based duo has collaborated since 2006. Their video, installation, and performance works explore performativity in moving images and have been widely shown at museums and festivals. They support Palestinian solidarity and refuse funding from Israeli government-subsidized institutions.
