Sira is an experimental essay that traces the exodus of a Sudanese family from Kuwait as a result of the Iraqi invasion. Excavated footage disrupt constructed memories as a mother recounts the evacuation, marring the bliss of her new family.
Sira is produced as part of the MADVO Project, commissioned by the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto. The Project was funded by the Canada Council for the Arts and was supported by the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto.
The film consists from found footage from the Jacques Madvo collection of 16mm films, digitized home videos, and recently shot Super8 films by the director during family visits.
Footage was collated and rephotographed using the Oxberry Camera Transfer System at the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto. Footage was processed at Niagara Custom Lab and transfered at Frame Discreet.
