Overview

Sansour’s most personal film to date, Familiar Phantoms draws on the artist’s family history in Russia and Palestine to give an intimate insight into how personal identity is shaped by geo-political events and how the experiences of our ancestors imprint themselves on our lives. The film weaves together private archives, Super 8 footage, photography, and re-enacted family recollections, with key scenes set in an abandoned mansion that serves as the seat of memory.
