Sandlines, The Story of History – Film Screening and Discussion
Come and watch Francis Alÿs’ film about a hundred years of Iraqi history. In Sandlines, the children of a village near Mosul revisit the past, and reenact it, from the secret Sykes-Picot agreement (1916) to the Islamic State’s reign of terror (2016). The film will be shown twice, with an expert discussion between screenings. The soundtrack is in Arabic, with English subtitles.
