The Eyes That Never See

2021 · 12 min

A sparse, haunting meditation on death and displacement that asks for patient attention as it layers history and loss.

Directed by: Dina Mimi

Overview: Ram(z)I is a lonely, working-class man who died twice. Ram(z)I was renamed as soon as his first body died to die again in Jerusalem, buried under a dusty ground while digging for artifacts of a 6000 year-old ancient city. This film explores the obsession of a settler state that continuously excavates to find artifacts to trace history and invent a new one.
