Till Roeskens
Till Roeskens talks to several inhabitants of Aïda's refugee camp (Palestinian territories), in six chapters, to depict their daily environment thanks to edifying and dramatic anecdotes.
"I have asked inhabitants of Aida Camp, Bethlehem, to draw maps of what they see around them. The drawing process as well as the stories related to those subjective geographies have been recorded on video. Through six chapters that form as many potentially independent short films, step by step you'll discover the refugee camp and it's surroundings, you'll follow the routes of some persons and their attempts to deal with the state of siege they live under. Let's call it a tribute to resistance by going around obstacles, in times where the very possibility of that resistance seems to be vanishing." Till Roeskens
