Humaniora (2003)

Rosalind Nashashibi's film *Humaniora* explores the experience of treatment and recovery, depicting hospitals not as places of suffering but as moments of quiet pause. The film captures transitions – from dawn to day, sunlight on architecture, and the contrast between bright glasshouses and shadowed streets – to examine changing attitudes towards illness across time. Nashashibi observes "real life," focusing on periods of inactivity, whether chosen or imposed, and how people inhabit their surroundings.
