Paradiso, XXXI, 108

Already renowned for his work with archives, Palestinian filmmaker Kamal Aljafari takes this engagement to a new level in the subtly sarcastic short Paradiso, XXXI, 108. Through the recontextualised images of military training and explosions, appropriated from the “israeli” state propaganda, Aljafari exposes the occupation army’s obsession with weaponry, masculinity, and the gamification of war. The fact that the film does not feature a single Palestinian person highlights the ongoing dehumanisation of Palestinians in the eyes of the death cult that is the zionist entity.
