Film Screening & Discussion with Director Nafis Fathollahzadeh

AnthroKino presents the screening of Khabur in collaboration with BEYONDREST Conversation Series. The screening will be followed with a discussion with the director Nafis Fathollahzadeh and Çiçek İlengiz on violent possession in the field of heritage.
Khabur is the longest tributary of the Euphrates, a transboundary river crossing the border between Turkey and Northeastern Syria. The film departs an archaeological site in the valley of the Khabur River and follows the journey of Tell Halaf’s archeological collection towards Berlin where it has resided since 1930. It traces the circulation of violence in different times and contexts along the Khabur River and engages with the economic and political power relations that have been transforming the landscape of the Khabur valley. The film addresses photography and archeology as two disciplines emerging from the colonial-imperial enterprise, critically engaging with the imperial grammar of institutionalised archives, and examining the way it could be recycled, reimagined, and rehearsed.
