Iraq's Invisible Beauty (2023) is a captivating documentary that explores the profound transformations that Iraq has undergone over the years. The film revolves around the life and work of Latif Al Ani, an acclaimed photographer who captured the beauty of Iraq before the devastation of war. Latif's photographs from the past serve as a window into a world long gone, prompting him to embark on a journey across his country in search of the people and places he once immortalized through his lens.

As Latif travels, he shares his stunning photographs with fellow Iraqis who no longer recognize the vibrant and prosperous Iraq that he reveals to them. Through these encounters, the film effectively captures the dichotomy between the fading memories of a prosperous past and the stark reality of the present.

This film reminds audiences of the importance of preserving the history and beauty of a nation, and invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with the passing of time and the fragility of memory.

Den svenska visan 2024

Visan kan framföras av kända artister på de stora scenerna, men den lever också i vår vardag och ackompanjerar ofta viktiga högtider i våra liv. Med rötter i 1600-talet har den sjungits i både slott och koja och många vispoeter har blivit mycket folkkära. Visan är den mest enkla och anspråkslösa av genrer, bara en text och en melodi, men ändå har den en unik livskraft och har lyckats överleva i vår moderna högteknologiska tid. En film av Ditte Hammar och Heleen Rebel.
