"Sound is more than just a recording. It tells the stories of people whose lives are transformed by war."
Through a series of immersive soundscapes, Mohammad Yaghi captures the realities of life on the ground in Palestine before and after 7 October 2023.
Born and raised in Gaza, sound engineer Mohammad has only ever worked in his home country, amassing an extensive audio archive of the place he loves. Now, amid the conflict that has intensified since October 2023, he turns his microphone to the people affected by the conflict. From a cafe stall making drinks and children playing on the playground to a mother giving birth to the sound of artillery fire and the voices of people trapped beneath razed buildings, the visceral moments Mohammad captures highlight the transformation of Gaza’s aural environment. Paired with his own ruminations on his work and homeland, Gaza Sound Man is an intimate and urgent impression of everyday life in Palestine.
After the film we will head to the Green & Blue Space where there will be refreshments and a chat about the contents of the film.
