International Competition - And Then They Burn The Sea

2022

The 3rd SISFF International Competition consists of 5 sections with 30 films from 27 countries. The diverse perspectives of people living different sociocultural spaces in the same era always awaken new senses. Your stagnant senses will awaken as you’ll encounter: senses and acceptance in the flow of life; different lives forming one discourse; a more wholesome endingless than ending; time and space of the past that are projected in present; and courage and process of reducing the weight for the sake of motion. The format and content of the 30 films of the SISFF International Competition will draw the new tomorrow closer.

‘And Then They Burn the Sea’ is an elegiac contemplation on familial memory and loss. Filmmaker Majid Al-Remaihi ruminates on the experience of witnessing his mother’s gradual and terminal memory loss over the course of many years. Weaving a personal family archive, reenacted dreams and rituals, the film underlines the promise of cinema as a medium for memories even at their most irretrievable.
