DOKFILM - QUI VIT ENCORE

Description

By Nicolas Wadimoff Awarded the «Prix de Soleure», the highest endowed film prize in Switzerland, QUI VIT ENCORE tells the stories of people from Gaza. Gathered around a walkable map of the Gaza Strip, a doctor, a tech entrepreneur, a musician, and other eyewitnesses tell about life before the war. It is precisely the absence of war images that allows us to perceive what war means. A masterpiece! Nicolas Wadimoff deliberately refrains from spectacular war images. Instead, he gathers his protagonists in a dark room. A doctor, entrepreneurs, a musician, and other eyewitnesses place their memories on a map, tell about their former everyday life, and show a picture of a society that is so different from what is visible in war reporting. The film creates a context far from the war events and thus enables a deeper understanding of physical destruction and human suffering. With great restraint and human closeness, an extraordinary documentary about flight, identity, and the power of memory is created. QUI VIT ENCORE gives a voice to those who are often reduced to numbers in public reporting – and makes visible what war means beyond destruction.
