Summaries

A collection of 9 short films, SUSPENDED TIME was conceived as a way to understand the status quo of image production 20 years after the signing of the Oslo Accords in Washington, D.C. in 1993.

In the article "The Day After", Eduard Said provided an immediate and very sombre reading of the Oslo Agreement signed in September 1993. He begins with the reading of the theatrics of the signing ceremony itself, and moves on to declare that the entire agreement is the suspension of most of Palestinians' rights. After 20 years of the signing, this suspension has created a confusing and distraught present in the lives of Palestinians. How can one dwell in the today and produce images that contain a potential for standing as historical reference? Images that feed on a point in history that acts as both beginning and end, and the resonance of this political rupture that we live today.—Reem Shilleh
