Ramallah, Palestine, December 2018
Juliette Le Monnyer / Belgium / 2025 / World Premiere / 11 min
A document from the occupied West Bank, where an observing camera scans and delineates a violent battle between local Palestinians and Israeli soldiers in real time.
In a single, long take over 10 minutes, we witness a confrontation between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers illegally stationed in Ramallah. A concrete, physical document and a piece of visual evidence, the camera’s field of view simultaneously scans the landscape and the fierce fighting, delineating our field of vision in a way that literally frames our own position as distanced observers. As soldiers and local Palestinians take up positions in the buildings and streets of Ramallah, we experience the occupation of Palestinian territory in real time.
