45th Parallel

Lawrence Abu Hamdan
Canada, United Kingdom, United States 2022
15 min
V'22

This film is a beguiling mixture of performance art, social essay, in situ recreation and direct, powerful storytelling. The Haskell Free Library straddles the border of Canada and America. Between the book stacks and then in the adjoining Opera House, Mahdi Fleifel relates extraordinary tales of cross-border entanglements and offenses, from gun-running to murder and – most disquietingly – a litany of drone-guided slaughters of innocent civilians. Yet family members separated by political jurisdictions meet in this sacrosanct, free space – a sign of hope in a troubled world. (Adrian Martin)
