The program Reflections on Arab Documentary, which unfolded over the past two months, concludes with a screening of a series of short films produced as part of the documentary filmmaking workshop Sensing the City Through its Details, facilitated by filmmaker Asmaa Bsisso.

Projects at the Lab: The Cinematheque | All That We Witness launched this December and continues into January with a series of encounters that look closely at contemporary directions in Arab documentary practice. The program turns to works that approach wider realities through the immediacy of lived experience; following how personal perspectives surface within, complicate, or cast new light on collective events. In doing so, it reopens the question of what the documentary form can offer today: how it examines the past, and how it engages the pressures and urgencies of the present moment. The program brings together conversations, public discussions, and a workshop, alongside a film-screening series.
