The Kufiyyah

Afnan al-Qatrawi Palestine - 2019 14 min.
‫
Two friends trom Gaza are impeded in the making of their film on the subject of Palestinian Division.
Wa'ed and Lubna, who are competing in a mobile cinema competition, meet by chance while filming a historical site in Gaza, as their participation in this competition was unbeknown to one another. Out ot their commitment to highlight Palestinian cultural heritage, they decide to collaborate.
The renewal of an old blood vendetta between Lubna 's neighbors as a result ot the Division leads to armed controntation between her neighbors. One day, when visiting Lubna, Wa'ed is slightly wounded by a stray bullet, and she wipes the blood with her Kufiyyah.
The immensety ot their shock and pain lies in the tainting ot this communal Palestinian icon by blood caused by a Palestinian bullet.
This fundamentally contradicts the spirit ot their film project ot preserving communal Palestinian heritage.
