What sustains cinema, long after the lights come up? For both DAFilms and Sabzian, the answer is reflection – watching, thinking, writing, and reading in communal conversation unbound by societal borders. In this special collaboration between DAFilms and Sabzian, we present a selection of films and texts that invite you to join the dialogue. The selection brings together films by Helke Misselwitz, Johan van der Keuken, Boris Lehman, Loredana Bianconi, Atteyat al-Abnoudy, Wang Bing, Alice Diop, Harun Farocki, Sergei Loznitsa, Trinh T. Minh-ha, and others.
