Partition
2025 | 61 min | Palestine
Diana Allan, director, will be in attendance
Consisting entirely of documentary footage captured during the British occupation of Palestine (1917-1948), Partition subverts the colonial archive. Director Diana Allan overlays the film with audio from Palestinians, whose stories challenge colonial narratives embedded in the archival imagery. Intergenerational voices discuss a fearful existence under the British mandate, a fraught moment that precipitated the displacement of 1948. In re-examining the historical record, Allan renders a vision of Palestinian community beyond catastrophe.
This screening of Partition is part of the Margaret Mead Film Festival at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Use the code "MEAD5" to receive the discounted ticket price of $5.
