by Mahasen Nasser-Eldin, documentary 22 min, Palestine 2012

Filmed between Bethlehem, Haifa and Nazareth, this film portrays Karimeh Abbud, born in Bethlehem in 1894, who was the first female professional photographer in Palestine. She quickly gained notoriety in a profession largely dominated by men. Thanks to his photos and correspondence, we can see the life of his country before the forced exodus of 1948 and the singularity of this forgotten photographer.
