Unlike the mediated images of current warfare, director Cynthia Madansky examines the effects of the destruction of Occupation through the details of cinematic landscapes and its inherent inhabitants. Through sound and image Still Life lays devastation at our doorstep. In its relentless questioning reaffirmed with a unique and unremitting soundtrack by composer Zeena Parkins, Still Life forces us to focus on the details of present-day Palestine.
