Blue Screen #5: Fairuz Ghammam

Fairuz Ghammam is a visual enthusiast who graduated as an experimental filmmaker and works as an editor, cinematographer, teacher and (co-) director in cinema beyond genres and formats. During Blue Screen #5 we will show two films by Fairuz which are revealing the transformative impacts of moving through dialogues across languages, across cultures and across generations. For the film “Oumoun” (2017), made in collaboration with El Moïz Ghammam, Fairuz travelled from Brussels to Mahdia in Tunisia, to share a prerecorded, spoken letter with her elderly grandmother. In her most recent project “Cultuur” (2022) Fairuz takes us on a walk through her hometown Kortrijk. Moving from private space to public space and back, she questions how many memories, storylines and sounds can coexist?

In dialogue with the work of Fairuz Ghammam, Emma van der Put en Chloé Malcotti selected the short films by Eduardo Kac, Tacita Dean and Hannes Böck.

Blue Screen is produced by Level Five and hypernuit, with the support of the Vlaams Audiovisueel Fonds (VAF).
