Some Strings #1

Filmmakers and artists from around the world have formed Some Strings, an ensemble of unreleased filmic gestures that is rooted in Palestine, where poet and teacher Refaat Alareer was targeted by Israeli strikes along with seven members of his family. In his last poem, If I Must Die, published five weeks before his murder, Alareer calls those who should live to create a kite—a long-standing object of resistance—with bits of string. Some Strings receives this as a legacy. Launched in March 2024, Some Strings has so far brought together over 100 artists, and 6 hours of short films.
