Ghost Hunting اصطياد اشباح
Falastin Film Festival 2025
(Fri 16 May: 3pm)
Director Raed Andoni places a newspaper advertisement in Ramallah. He is looking for former inmates of the Moskobiya interrogation centre in Jerusalem. In his ad he asks that the men should also have experience as craftsmen, architects or actors. In a reconstruction of the centre built under their close supervision, the men re-enact their interrogations, discuss details about the prison, and express the humiliation they experienced during their detention.
Using techniques reminiscent of 'theatre of the oppressed' they work together to dramatise their real-life experiences. Their reconstruction brings long-repressed emotions and undealt-with trauma to the fore. Working on the film takes a physical and mental toll on the men, while the director also comes to terms with his own fragmented memories of imprisonment in Moskobiya thirty years previously.
