Asma Ghanem
Directing
Known For
A documentary about the weight of filming pain, the guilt of those who observe it, and the responsibility of showing it. Based on a shoot in Gaza ten years ago, the director revisits discarded images, direct looks at the camera, and uncomfortable moments that question his profession, his vocation, and the transformative power of images in a world insensitive to their overexposure. That gaze continues to resonate years later, amid helplessness, memory, and denunciation.

Suspended Time 'Zaman Muaalaq'
‘Wall Piano’ takes us into a daydream of a child who lives under the shadow of a separation wall. Artists Asma Ghanem (Palestine), Christopher Marianetti (USA), and Alexia Webster (South Africa) worked with a group of children living near the Qalandia checkpoint in Ramallah, Palestine, a frontline of the West Bank conflict. The idea for this short film came from 12 year-old ‘Nada’, featured in the film, and is scored by Christopher Marianetti.
