The Land of Strangers: Echoes from Ouzai
Short Film by Ayman Nahle

With support of the ZIVIK Funding Program


This experimental video approaches Ouzai as a living archive of displacement rather than a fixed place. Through reactivated archival fragments, home footage, and erased cartographies, the work treats the coastline as a shifting site of exile, where faith, architecture, and memory dissolve into collective amnesia. Moving between image and absence, the film considers remembrance as an act of resistance, and asks how places marked by perpetual displacement continue to speak through dust, sea, and silence.

Based on the text by Rayan Nasser: Ouzai: A Land of Estrangement and Displacement
