Fear of Songs
Short Film
In 2002, a young Palestinian asylum seeker is released from Australian detention — but the footage capturing this pivotal moment vanishes, never archived. Fear of Songs is an experimental short film that attempts to reconstruct what was lost, blurring memory, media, and imagination. Through absence, it questions who gets to be seen, and what is remembered.
