Films explore the soundscape of war and its impact on communities

Recent films explore the soundscape of war, shifting focus from visual devastation to the aural experiences of those affected. This approach highlights the everyday sounds of life amidst chaos, revealing the resilience of communities in conflict zones. In "Liturgy of Anti-Tank Obstacles," sculptors in Ukraine create religious statues while surrounded by the sounds of war. The film contrasts the mechanical noise of their work with moments of prayer, illustrating how art and faith persist despite ongoing violence. Similarly, "It's Bisan From Gaza" captures the emotional toll of war through personal accounts. Bisan's recordings reflect the trauma of displacement and loss, emphasizing the struggle to articulate experiences in a landscape dominated by destruction and despair.
