Description
“I am you and you are me” is a video installation that shows two films simultaneously, one film of a women’s circle and one film of a men’s circle. The participants of the circles go through a process of healing. Circles provide them with a safe space where one can be vulnerable, (re)connect with their selves and others, and first and foremost it is a space where love and warmth is being spread.

An American Mosque is a film about Islam in America, religious intolerance, and the interfaith response to an historic hate-crime. When the Islamic Center of Yuba City, California, was burned to the ground in 1994, it was the first arson to destroy a mosque in US history. At the time, this incident was largely ignored. Now, decades later, this symbolically important story is revisited. Late one night, arsonists broke into the newly-constructed mosque, doused prayer rugs with gasoline, then lit the building ablaze. The mosque was reduced to ashes and an investigation ensued.

This film portrays aspects of an Afghan refugee's life - his living conditions in Peshawar and his longing to return to Herat. It is also about Amir's life as a professional musician and his relationships with other musicians in Peshawar. Between 1973 and 1977 John Baily carried out extensive ethnomusicological fieldwork on the urban music of Afghanistan, particularly in the western city of Herat. In 1985, he traveled to Peshawar to film Afghan refugees who were musicians and again met his old friend Amir Mohammad, from Herat. The film portrays aspects of Amir's life as a refugee - his living conditions in Peshawar and his longing to return to Herat. It is also about Amir's life as a professional musician and his relationships with other musicians in Peshawar. Musical performances include resistance songs at a Pakistani wedding. "It is a poignant production. The plight of refugees comes through and should leave no-one indifferent." — Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, UN Co-ordinator Operation Salam
