Acerca de Close Up: The Podcast

Cultural legacy is one of the most important possessions each of us carry. It is an essential part of our individual and collective identity. In Southwest Asia and North Africa, “official” narratives often stifle complex cultural legacies. CLOSE UP: THE PODCAST dives deep with its filmmakers to explore cultural & historical identity and what it means to be an artist today, with all its complexities ⁠— its vivacity and spirit, diversity and paradoxes. What unfolds is an imaginary space in which we challenge our realities while regaining our rich inclusive society.

Episode 5: The Collective Memory of Resistance

In this intimate and powerful conversation, developed, hosted, and edited by Close Up Producer Irmak Melek, three remarkable Close Up filmmakers share their compelling stories of displacement, survival, and co-resistance: Mizgin Mujde Arslan from the 2023-2024 Cohort, director of My Mother’s Tale; Yasaman Sharifmanesh from the 2021-2022 Cohort, director of I Am an Olive Tree; and Daham Alasaad from the 2024-2025 Cohort and 2025-2026 Rough Cut Program, director of Ashes. Together, we delve into the deep connections between space, belonging, and rebuilding the concept of "home" against political destruction. The filmmakers discuss the responsibility of capturing the small, overlooked details of daily life, and how these ordinary moments transform into profound acts of resistance against homogenizing mainstream narratives. This gathering becomes a space for thinking through collective practice, solidarity and a genuine ground for building collective power. We hope this episode resonates with listeners and serves as a reminder of the collective memory of resistance we continue to share.

Episode 3: Documentary Filmmaking as an Act of Resistance

NO OTHER LAND (Best Documentary Berlinale 2024) Co-directors Basel Adra and Yuval Abraham and KAMAY (Interreligious Award Visions du Réel 2024) director Ilyas Yourish discuss how their films and the act of filmmaking itself have become not only an act of resistance against war and brutality, but a means of survival, memory-keeping, re-writing official narratives and understanding of identity. NO OTHER LAND, created by a collective of Palestinians and Israelis (Rachel Szor, Hamdan Balal, Yuval Abraham and Basel Adra), tells Basel’s own story as he films his community of Masafer Yatta, in the West bank, being destroyed by Israeli soldiers and the unlikely friendship he develops with an Israeli journalist, Yuval, who wants to join his fight. KAMAY is set in the remote mountains of central Afghanistan, as a Hazara family embarks on a journey for truth and justice after their daughter Zahra mysteriously dies at Kabul University. In his poetic and poignant film, her sister Freshta narrates countless hours on the road, administrative and technological obstacles to justice. The film is a moving contemplation of love, loss, and perseverance in spite of increasing unrest on the eve of the Taliban takeover of the country.
