Before We Disappear (2021) dir. Asmaa Jama
Before We Disappear, is an interactive film that grapples with the notions of invisibility and disappearing. The film was made collaboratively and remotely between the UK and Ethiopia. Created for BBC New Creatives and Ace grams, Before We Disappear is the brainchild of Asmaa Jama and was inspired by conversations with their relatives about the ways they have been seen/watched/surveilled in public spaces.
