Kamal AlJafari's Port of Memory (2010) is situated in the port of Jaffa. The film explores the formation of time in space-durational affect-and constitutes a relation of space and architecture via the cinematic lens that conjures up a new way of expressing occupation and gentrification. The use of space and architecture in the film perpetuate a new mode of expression that renders time in its suspension-an act of waiting.
