Two films by CAMP
Al Jaar Qabla Al Daar (The Neighbour before the House)
From Gulf to Gulf to Gulf
We invite you to a rare opportunity to watch two acclaimed films by Mumbai based artist group, CAMP.
CAMP’s film works employ distinct video materials and methods to explore entanglements between medium, message and the politics of looking. In From Gulf to Gulf to Gulf, (2013) mobile phone videos filmed by sea-farers in the Western Indian Ocean across many years provide a rare glimpse into the translocal, yet intimate worlds of oceanic trade and media flows. In The Neighbour Before the House, (2009-11) eight Palestinian families in Jerusalem film their neighbourhoods using CCTV cameras mounted on their homes; returning the gaze of surveillance and re-orienting both operational images and subject-positions of citizens.

If Jerusalem is the capital of both Israel and Palestine, and on the eve of Netanyahu's visit to a historically Palestine-friendly India, we bring you two films with surprising images and voices...
الجار قبل الدار
“The Neighbour
before the House” is a series of video probes into the landscape of East
Jerusalem. Shot with a CCTV security camera, these images show that before and after instrumental "surveillance", there is inquisitiveness, jest,
memory, desire and doubt that pervades the project of watching. A voice finds an image, an image is probed beneath its surface, thoughts withdraw or rebound.In these specific times and places, camera movements and live commentary become ways in which Palestinian residents evaluate what can be seen, and speak about the nature
of their distance from others.
60 mins, SD CCTV video and sync audio.
Filmed in 2009 and edited into this film in 2011.
Screening and conversation in collaboration with University of Pennsylvania’s Cinema & Media Studies department and CARG. At old Slought/ new Public Trust.
6:00-8:00 pm

We are proposing this term to think more broadly about extraction, waste, dependency, rear-guarding, mediatic conversions, in- and out-sourcing, and other aspects of chains of translation and steps of decision and production.
