About Longing

This film is an attempt to capture the creative energy of the city of Amman through the soul of one of her great artists, Mamdouh Bisharat, who like Kurt Schwitters of Germany and Joseph Cornell of the US, uses "psychological collages” of fragments of found objects to make sense of the world around him. We see a solitary Mamdouh in his house as a witness to the disappearing moment around him and weighing on his shoulders the terrible burden of time remembered and lost in the Arab world today.
