Mythical Creatures Trailer (2020)

01 January 2020 Factual 18 mins

The pioneering direct action organised by the Palestinian-Israeli sex worker coalition Argaman Alliance in 2019 becomes the core of this courageous and uncompromising story. In response to the passage of a law criminalizing the purchase of sexual services, female members of the coalition take up the fight for their rights, raising questions about memory and how marginalized groups create and document their narratives. Using alternative means of expression, artist and activist Liad Hussein Kantorowicz sheds light on policies of exclusion and strategies of resistance, highlighting the difficulties of fighting for identity in a stifling reality. ‘Mythical Creatures’ forces us to reflect on how we make stories and what meaning they have in the context of the struggle for equality and justice.
