Visualising the Past: Rebranding the Present

Synopsis

In 2009 the director, a cultural geographer, spent 8 months filming in Amman and Damascus for a collaborative ESRC-funded research project on the role of heritage in these ‘Levantine’ cities. The four short films made as part of that research use a combination of different audio-visual (filmic) formats. Part 1: AMMAN. Part II: MYSTERY OF THE ORIENT. Part III: SIGNS OF THE TIMES. Part IV: BITTER COFFEE.
