Description
RESISTANCE[S] II, the second volume of the eponymous DVD collection, presents a selection of nine films and videos by artists from the Maghreb and the Middle East. Intimate, poetic, or documentary, these complex works, nourished by different artistic and cultural registers, testify to the vitality and creative diversity in these regions. Far from any concessions to prevailing stereotypes, the authors explore existential, political, or aesthetic questions with a concern for opening new narrative perspectives and disrupting the representations served by the commonly accepted monolithic and fixed image.
