Apat

Synopsis

Origin:

In relation to colonisation and the post-colonial condition, Apat integrates the filmmaker’s research into extinction and its results: natural disasters, cultural damage and the eradication of memory. Combining found footage with images from Karimi’s family archive, Apat tells of the artist’s personal history—a history that is yet to be reclaimed. Karimi’s search for her own narrative mirrors the journey towards independence and coming-of-age of a people and a region.
