Tracing the effects of a burgeoning technology of capitalism and conflict and its intersection with a modern history of Lebanon and Syria, archival evidence discovered at the Arab Image Foundation in Lebanon reveals the sexual exploitation of a woman by occupying Australian soldiers fighting for the Allied forces. Engaging feminist and decolonial methods, the film moves through the archival evidence to sense, trace, and position her encounter as a form of poetic testimony. This episode of Kazan's project Frame of Accountability points to a lack of legal accountability for violence perpetrated at the scale of the body and the domestic during armed conflict.
Helene Kazan's Frame of Accountability: In Her View is presented within The Persistence of Resistance in the Actualization of Memories From the Past, the fourth of five chapters in Memories for Forgetfulness Elsewhere, an online film program curated by Irmgard Emmelhainz for e-flux Video & Film. The program streams in five thematic group screenings each two weeks long, and will be accompanied by two live discussions.
