A deeply personal film about anxiety, privilege, and the tricky business of bad things happening to us while even worse things happen to others. Shot entirely on an iPhone and narrated by a human and a computer voice, the film is a meditation on how fast-paced, goal-oriented, and measurable our lives have become. Does seeing the world through the lens of your phone breaks down or reinforces the boundary between the self and what surrounds it? Do you remember that year? strives to think away from the idea of a border as a mere geographical or political demarcation (although it features those too). Even though it contains footage from multiple countries and continents (Cambodia, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom), the film aims to explore the real and imaginary borders between the self and the world around it – based on experience, perception and positionality.

Sinai, Egypt UK In Guest Star members of the Mzeina tribe reenact a traditional story of hospitality. Bedouin hospitality is internationally well known and used in tourism marketing and identity branding in many Middle Eastern and North African countries. Hospitality has evolved because it is essential. Not offering a visitor water or food in such a harsh environment could be fatal. Hospitality goes beyond tribal affiliation and is also the basis for diplomacy between different families and groups. In this story of the Guest Star the 'borders' of hospitality are defined both spatially and temporally. Members of the Mzeina tribe are settling down for the night around a fire, when a visitor from another tribe - looking for his goats - joins them. The hosts welcome their guest and offer him a drink. But what are the boundaries of the hospitality they should provide? Should they also offer him a meal? All they need to do, to see what is expected is to stand up to check to see if a particular star, called the 'guest star' is still in the sky, or it has already disappeared from view. When they check, they find the star is still visible in the night sky. So they know what to do and offer their visitor a full meal. Part of a series of films from A Different Sense of Space: How Bedouins Mapped the Sinai https://bedouinborders.org/
