Ce film fait partie de la carte blanche de l’institut du monde arabe à Paris
Athaar (ruines en arabe) est une histoire sur les identités que nous créons, adoptons et rejetons alors que nous remettons en question les constructions traditionnelles de la liberté. Le monde occidental a objectivé la notion de liberté comme sienne — aujourd’hui, la liberté n’est pas arabe, mais américaine, européenne, occidentale. En tant qu’immigrants, les identités que nous adoptons dans nos pays d’origine entrent souvent en conflit direct avec les identités que nous cherchons à créer dans notre nouveau pays. Nos émotions oscillent entre nostalgie, peur et un désir ardent de libération. Bien que la notion de liberté soit un concept hautement diffus, cette histoire vise à démanteler la notion occidentale de liberté, non pas pour en créer une nouvelle, mais pour révéler la superficialité de sa construction.

Zara Naber is a Jordanian photographer and film-maker. Her ambitions in making films was born in 2016 in a theater in Paris, in which she played the role of Layla Attar, an Iraqi painter living through the horrors of the US-led war following the Gulf War. To rehearse her role, she too began to paint trees and women which eventually led to her fascination with figures, and their relationship with Earth. It was here that her idea began to multiply. She began to stage & photograph bodies. The reciprocal meditative flow between the subject & herself became an instrument to her physical & creative liberation. This process of self-liberation that was first inspired by her creative journey later became its greatest muse. Ultimately manifesting itself through the voices of different fictional characters under various tales. Athaar is Zara Naber’s first film, the script was written by her, along with her friend Tamara Hilmi. Her next piece is currently being written in Arabic, which will be produced as a feature film.
