They (no longer) remember
Hira Nabi / Pakistan / 2026 / World Premiere / 10 min
A silent visual poem dedicated to the artist's grandfather, who seeks answers and finds new questions in the organic surroundings.
With simple means and great poetic power, Hira Nabi has created a silent visual poem – a cinematic letter told through subtitles – to her grandfather. In beautiful 8mm film images, we move through unnamed landscapes, botanical gardens, and forests while a deep red sun hangs low on the horizon. Nabi seeks kinship with familiar and unfamiliar plants, recalls childhood memories, and reflects on a contemporary world of violence and war. ‘They (no longer) remember’ is a cinematic work that lets the world and its light flow through itself as it moves along highways, rivers, and hidden paths.
