DESERT PHOSfate, Mohamed Sleiman Labat (Western Sahara, 2023)
DESERT PHOSphate is an experimental film that weaves together multi-layered narratives about phosphate, sand particles, plants, and human and mineral displacement, as well as the loss of nomadic ways of life of the Sahrawi indigenous people. It highlights connections between ecological justice, colonial practices, environmental violence, traces of anthropocentric mineral extractions, and the loss of indigenous ways of knowing and telling about the world while at the same time highlighting the resilience of a community through gardens and art.
Film will be screened in original version with subtitles in Catalan.
A film in the 2024 edition of IndieFest, Barcelona Indigenous Film Festival.
