Larissa Sansour

Larissa Sansour was born in Palestine. Central to her practice is the tug and pull between myth and history. Her most recent work explores the dialectics between archaeology and politics. The idea of historical interference extends to the use of documentary and archive in her films. By including documented history in a fictional account, she augments the storytelling aspect of historical interpretation. Sansour’s latest film won several international awards. Heirloom will be her first feature.
