Winner of the prestigious Silver Bear for 'Best Documentary' at the 2017 Berlin Film Festival, Palestinian filmmaker Raed Andoni’s powerful feature is a hybrid of documentary, fiction and experimental film, interspersed with lyrical and beautifully rendered animated sequences.
Gathering together a group of survivors from the infamous Al-Moscobiya prison, Israel’s main interrogation centre, Andoni asks them to recreate the physical space of the jail – a place he was also detained as a teenager. As they build, together they confront their experiences of incarceration and torture.
A boldly personal and uncompromisingly political work, Ghost Hunting explores the ethics and meaning of re-enactment, questioning the complicity of both filmmaker and viewer in this provocative and cathartic experiment.
Second Run's region-free Blu-ray and DVD editions are presented from a new HD master and includes an interview director Raed Andoni and booklet featuring writing on the film by Gareth Evans... and more!
