Case Study: How to reclaim the Colonial Film Archive with Theo Panagopoulos

A forgotten archive from the 1930s and '40s, rare colour images of flowers in British-occupied Palestine, stories of colonizers and colonized: Theo Panagopoulos shows how such images can be reconquered and retold. His film The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing discusses archival material and contemporary perspectives. Narratives are reclaimed, past and present connected and film becomes a tool for reappropriating the storyline – quiet becomes loud, as well as clever and powerful at the same time.
