23 minA poetry film that draws comparisons between haflat shabab (Palestinian bachelor parties), Oakland California's illegal rave scene, and the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Text elements and firsthand footage enhance the immersive experience and serve as a narrative tool to elucidate the challenges and constraints of movement within a choreopoliced society. The film aims to showcase the queer, othered experience without objectification, rejecting the colonial origins of photography as a means of surveillance. The film employs abstract imagery, video collaging and representation of drug usage via colored sound waves and lumetri scopes.
