Amine, an elderly Palestinian, is twice exiled from land and work. He is displaced from his hometown of Haifa, seeking refuge in Beirut, and again to the island of Zirku, to work on an offshore oil rig and in a labor camp in the Arabian Gulf. “A Stone’s Thrown” crosses borders to reveal an emotional and material proximity between oil extraction and labor in the region and the Zionist colonization of Palestine. The film essays a history of Palestinian resistance when, in 1936, Haifa oil workers blow up a BP pipeline.

Razan AlSalah
Razan is a Palestinian artist and teacher based in Tiotiake/Montreal. Her films work with the material aesthetics of the appearance and disappearance of indigenous bodies, narratives and stories in colonial image worlds. She often works with sound images to infiltrate the borders that separate us from the land. Her films are both ghostly invasions and infiltrated ruptures of the colonial image, which functions as a border, as a wall. She thinks of her creative process as a circle of relationships with artists, friends, family, technology, images, plants, objects and sounds... These relationships become different points of entry and exit to other places here, where colonialism no longer makes sense.
