Dorit Naaman

Dorit Naaman is a documentarist and film theorist from Jerusalem, and a professor of Film, Media and Cultural Studies at Queen’s University, Canada. In 2016 she released an innovative interactive documentary, Jerusalem, We Are Here, which digitally reinscribed Palestinians into the neighborhoods from which they were expelled during the 1948 war. Her in-production collaborative project The Belle Park Project is situated in Kingston, Ontario, and harnesses creative practice to make visible, legible and audible colonial and environmental violence, but also resistance, resilience and re-naturalization, in a complex urban park/former landfill. Dorit is also the co-creator with Elizabeth Miller of mapping participatory media, a planning and reflection tool for participatory projects. She has previously researched film and media from the Middle East, specifically focused on nationalism, gender and militarism.
