صناعة اللد: التحرير من خلال الخيال

In this essay, codirectors of the sci-fi documentary Lyd, Rami Younis and Sarah Ema Friedland, describe the impetus for making the film that imagines a Palestine never colonized by the British or Zionists. Drawing on research into Palestine’s rich and pluralistic history, the authors share the creative process behind producing the film’s imagined scenes of a Lyd that never experienced the Nakba or the exile of its people. They conclude with reflections on how Lyd provides needed inspiration for imagining alternate realities amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
