Our kuffiyyah in London

Dalia al Kury 2007 docu 5 min.

By secretly snapping photos of Londoners wearing the popular Palestinian
scarf, the "Kuffiyyah", the filmmaker ponders how her Palestinian
grandparents would react if they could witness their scarf's almost ironic
commercial appeal. The film opens up questions about the commodification
and appropriation of political, cultural and historical materials and
leaves the viewer to reflect on the interplay between commerce, fashion,
ideology and identity.
