A Night We Held Between

Overview

A Night We Held Between takes the ancient tale of the Minoan Labyrinth as historical inspiration, connecting mythology to the present socio-political reality in Palestine. Set in particular ancient sites across Palestine—caves, carved holes, underground passages, and wild valleys—the land, and landscape become the film’s main protagonists. Timeless, haunting scenes evoke that which is lost, forgotten or forsaken, while repetition and ritual recall ancient gestures related to goddesses, caves and offerings – gestures that resonate through to the present and open up spaces for the communal expression of connection to land and culture across time and space.
