SYNOPSIS
After the loss of her father, young filmmaker Bushra turns to cinema as a passage through grief, fragility, and the silences that mourning leaves behind. She meets others who have experienced loss, listens to them, films them, but slowly, the camera turns back toward her own unfinished grief.
At home, her mother spends time knitting, passing the hours, threading strands of wool without a clear purpose. Yet in those repeated gestures, something soft begins to mend. Meanwhile, Bushra edits and experiments. She sits before footage she once captured of her father’s eyes. The eyes become his presence; a space where she can speak to him, and where he, in some way, remains.

SYNOPSIS
Out of the Rifts is a collective experimental short film developed over five days during the 2024 Summer Academy at Darat Al-Funun in Amman,Jordan. Conceived and storyboarded collaboratively by Bushra Barghouthi, Sadiq Al-Harasi, Shahd Haitham, and Waed Qatawneh, the film reflects the group’s visions and the convergence and intersection of their ideas around war, alienation, and memory. The urban landscape of Amman—a large city inhabited by displaced and grieving communities—serves as a space that manifests the psychic and spatial rifts left in the wake of displacement and survival. The film was first shown as a work-in-progress at Darat Al-Funun’s Open Studio in July 2024.
