Ouroboros

Year: 2017

Runtime: 74 mins

Language: Arabic

Director: Basma Alsharif

Documentary

An experimental narrative film exploring themes of death and rebirth, Ouroboros draws inspiration from the Gaza Strip and the possibility of hope amidst despair. The story follows Diego Marcon on a cyclical journey, repeatedly confronting his pain as he travels through diverse landscapes including Native American territories, Matera in Italy, a castle in Brittany, and the ruins of Gaza. Presented as a love story, the film uses the ouroboros symbol – a snake consuming its tail – to represent the endless cycle of destruction and regeneration, and questions what it means to be human in the face of profound loss.
