Echoes of Tantura (2024)

A short film about memory and homeland.

Echoes of Tantura is a short film about memory and homeland.

It is a quiet attempt to sit with Tantura, a village that was not allowed to remain a village, and to ask what cinema can do when history has already been wounded by denial.

The film moves through grief, testimony, absence and the fragile work of keeping a place present after the world has tried to make it disappear.
