Don’t Forget the Water

2023 MENA Canada Filmmaking Grant-winning film. Screened at MENA 5 as a work in progress preview.
Synopsis:

A phone conversation sets the diasporic table as a disembodied figure prepares Qahwah Arabi / Arabic Coffee. Here, the contradictions inherent in Google Translate’s instant camera feature are made visible through glitched mistranslations. Using these flaws as a prompt, the communication between a mother and a daughter considers ambiguity as a source of embodied knowledge.
