Documentary film screening: 'Guerrilla Archive'
Advertisement
We are delighted to welcome you to a documentary film screening of Guerrilla Archive, jointly hosted by the SOAS Middle East Institute (SMEI) and the Digital Archive of the Middle East (DAME) Project (University of Exeter). The film screening (50 minutes) will be followed by a Q&A session with one of the filmmakers, Shahrzad Mojab, and a drinks reception.
Guerrilla Archive (2025), a documentary film produced by CNRS and directed by Chowra Makaremi, with Setar Faithi and Shahrzad Mojab, explores a previously unseen visual archive – photographs, sounds, and videos documenting the daily lives of Kurdish Peshmergas after the 1979 Iranian revolution. This documentary film traces the threads of militant memory, between armed struggle and community organising, within Komala, a Kurdish communist party opposed the Islamic State. Guerrilla Archive offers an immersion into the counter-archives of violence, where documenting becomes a political act.
