The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing plot

In Panagopoulos' montage of this bucolic archive material, he gradually zooms in on the Arab Palestinians visible in the background. The result is an elegiac essay on the role of historical footage, in which the dark shadow of contemporary horrors inevitably imposes itself.

Seen at Go Short Festival. Not my cup of tea. With footage from the 1930s, the first color images from the Palestinian territories, we see various flowers, and gradually more and more of the people in the images. Zoomed in to pixels. A lot of repetition. And ultimately, of course, reduced to the war. Get the idea behind it, but way too slow, boring, and ultimately forced.
