This exhibition will present seven films and three audio works commissioned for Sharjah Biennial 10. Six Filmmakers were invited to create a new short film inspired by the Biennial’s title Plot for a Biennial and the key words–Treason, Affiliation, Corruption, Necessity, Devotion, Disclosure, Translation and Insurrection–that constituted its conceptual framework.
Also on view is Rania Stephan’s Sharjah Biennial Prize winning film The Three Disappearances of Soad Hosni.
In addition to the films, this exhibition will present audio works created by Filmmakers for Sharjah Biennial 10. These works reflect the content of the commissioned films and resonate with the energy of the Arab Spring.
