Joshua Segun-Lean and Tiffany Sia discuss a Hong Kong cinema of dissent against the paradox of state narratives that use nostalgic cinema to project revolutionary pasts at the same time as they brutally surveil protestors’ images and bodies in the present.

Joshua Segun-Lean speaks with Rehab Nazzal about the role of the photograph in bearing witness to both the ongoing Israeli violence in Palestine, and Palestinian resistance and steadfastness (Sumoud). Segun-Lean and Nazzal discuss the work of photography under the threat of memoricide, and the formal and stylistic in(ter)ventions imposed on the image by this threat.
