Research Partnerships

A Cinematic Occupation

Senior Partner: Kamal  Aljafari

Film, Video, Sound and New Media

During my fellowship I will produce a film, a series of photographs, photomontages, and a critical study addressing the use of the city of Jaffa as a phantasmagorical film stage set. I will also work on other short experimental films, still in development, which are related to my stay in the US. The research partner will assist with different aspects of production in the above-mentioned fields. The student should have technical experience in video and filmmaking, such as operating cameras, Final Cut editing system, Photoshop, and a deep interest in cinema and love for the arts.

The research partner will be a great support in producing several works in the limited time I have at Harvard. The program will help me use the potential of the fellowship in the best way.
