In 2002, a young Palestinian asylum seeker is released from Australian detention — but the footage capturing this pivotal moment vanishes, never archived. Fear of Songs is an experimental short film that attempts to reconstruct what was lost, blurring memory, media, and imagination. Through absence, it questions who gets to be seen, and what is remembered.

Screening with Australian shorts:
Mates (Rory Pearson)
The Body (Louris van de Geer)
Faceless (William Jaka & Fraser Pemberton)
Some Kind of Blue (Rae Choi)
The Shirt Off Your Back (David Robinson-Smith)
