Journey Inside a City (2022)

Overview

This short, autobiographical documentary combines phone monologues, dashboard camera footage, and visual accounts from social media to make a unique, inside look into the life of an up-and-coming female artist from Baghdad who inevitably crosses paths with political turmoil. Munaf documents her journey from her attempts at creating contemporary art in a very limiting environment, the ISIS invasion, and her emigration to Turkey to the invasion of Ukraine where her parents emigrated to.
