2018 DocuAsia Forum: ZAATARI DJINN

Tuesday, March 6 
6:45 PM - 9:45 PM
Kwantlen polytechnic university Richmond Campus

Netherlands | 2016 | 91 min | Arabic with English Subtitles
Director: Catherine van Campen

In the middle of the desert, under the sweltering sun, a new city has emerged -- a city that consists of 80 percent children. From the perspective of four children from different social backgrounds, we get to see and feel what it is like to grow up in this city: the refugee camp Zaatari. A place with little resources or prospects for improvement, but with space for dreams.

  • Don't miss the up-coming DocuAsia 2018 series!

DocuAsia continues in March with a series of lyrical, provocative documentary films including Zaatari Dinn (2016), Les Sauteurs (2016) and Ubuntu (2017). This year's films leap outside of Asia as a land bound concept and into the diasporic, migratory and mobile experiences that characterize what is happening in Asia -- and much of the rest of the world -- today.

The first in the series, Zaatari Djinn is gently magical in the way of childhood, but also frank and unsentimental. Beautifully shot and carefully crafted, the film is an intimate portrait of four children who are growing up in a city that does not exist.... ZAATARI DJINN

  • How does language shape our world? If we could speak the language of the ocean, what would be our reality?

Learn to speak ocean with @pblenkarn at #digitalcarnival17 tonight! 
Speaking Ocean: Basic Expressions is part of an ongoing series that imagines the natural world through linguistic structures. By reframing the ocean as a speaking being, one with a language that has been forgotten by many of us, this work explores the idea of what constitutes an international language and questions the kinds of language we need to be fluent in order to exist together.

Compass is a multi-media performance that incorporates live-animation, ephemera and found media sources to tell a series of short stories based on the concept of directions, choices and paths that are forced upon us through the impact and effects of war.  The performance begins with historical materials belonging to Cindy’s paternal grandmother, who owned and worked a strawberry farm inWalnut Grove before WWII and the internment of Japanese Canadians on the west coast, and moves across a terrain of moments that intersects with the lives of other characters The project wasoriginally conceived as A Compass For Your Silence through a Media Art and Performance Seriescalled Bearing Witness, commissioned by Media Net in Victoria, B.C. 
Performance by Cindy Mochizuki featuring Sound Design by Nancy Tam, Lighting James Proudfoot, Technical Assistance Asa Mori, Production Assistant Cherry Wen Wen Lu and Set Construction by Minoru Yamamoto.
