The world is an ever-changing landscape of socio-political identities. How, then, does one make sense of indelible concepts like nationality and statehood. Head to a screening of the trilogy, And Europe Will Be Stunned, by internationally-acclaimed Israeli filmmaker, Yael Bartana, to seek answers to some of these questions.

&ldquo;My films were made in a context that is quite different from here, and I&rsquo;m excited to see how new audiences perceive it,&rdquo; shares Bartana, whose works deal with identity and belonging. The first instalment in the trilogy, Mary Koszmary (Nightmares), explores the longing for a Jewish past, anti-Semitism and xenophobia, through a young political activist who urges three million Jews to come back to Poland.

The second film Mur i wie&Aring;&frac14;a (Wall and Tower) is set in the Polish capital, Warsaw, where a newly constructed kibbutz tower evokes the heroism of Jewish ancestors. In the final film, Zamach (Assassination), Bartana imagines a near future where the funeral ceremony of an assassinated leader of the Jewish Renaissance movement unifies a new movement.

The trilogy will be followed by a screening of Bartana&rsquo;s experimental project True Finn, where eight Finnish individuals lived together for seven days and the subsequent discussions and planned experiments were filmed to explore the Finnish identity. Bartana will have a discussion after the screening with city-based artist and filmmaker Shaina Anand, who curated the New Medium section at this year&rsquo;s MAMI Film Festival.
