Episode Synopsis

BMUC member Peter Lammiman's research has uncovered a true story of the lost Palestinian Film Archive. The Film Archive contained over 100 films, including documentaries, made from before 1948 to the 1980's, and was lost during the Israeli bombardment of Beirut in 1982. It remains lost to this day.
Peter shares a research article with presenter Merran McLaren and Rights, Rorts and Rants listeners at this time of more catastrophic loss for the Palestinian people. The paper is by Hend Alawadhi titled On what was, and what remains: Palestinian cinema and the Film Archive. Published in the International
Academic Forum (IAFOR) Journal of Media, Communication & Film Vol 1 Issue 1 Summer 2013.
The interview was first broadcast on Rights, Rorts and Rants on Radio Blue Mountains 89.1 FM on 7 June 2024 by Blue Mountains Unions & Community presented by Merran McLaren. The podcast was produced by Ann-Maree McEwan.
