Hanina/Homesick
Hanina/Homesick is an 8 minute animated short film completed in 2023. This film was heavily inspired by photographs from The Nubian Ethnological Survey of 1962-1964. It was also inspired by Margo Veillon's book, Nubia: Sketches, Notes, and Photographs.
SYNOPSIS:
A young Nubian girl embarks on a journey back in time to reconnect with her drowned homeland. Guided by the Nile egret, she travels underwater within the lake created by the Aswan High Dam to visit Nubia's mountains and palm trees, water wheels and houses, men and women. She bids farewell to her people as they board the boats that will take them to their resettlement villages. Returning to her own time, she carries the strength of knowing that Nubia will always live on inside her
The Nubian Ethnological Survey of 1962-1964
The Nubian Ethnological Survey of 1962-1964 included hundreds of photographs of Nubia: its landscape, of its architecture, and of the people who call it home. These photos have become an important archive of Nubian collective memory, providing clues into past traditions and modes of life and helping to revitalize heritage in the present. In HANINA these photos are illustrated, woven together, and brought to life.
