Taking the form of a music video, the work centers around performances of the Kurdish love song ‘Divine Kiss’ and ‘Cry Me A Waterfall’, a newly composed English language love song written to the Bekhal waterfall in Kurdistan. The film aims to explore the long-distance relationship between a person of diaspora and Kurdistan. The work explores the problematic feelings of nationalism and desire to claim denied land through a conquering or communion. It considers the fluid and fictive space that ‘homeland’ can occupy beyond geographical definitions of statehood. By operating in both languages, the film touches on the hybrid aspect of diasporic identity and the extent of expression that language, song and music can convey. Following the Kurdish practice of turning poetry into song it reminds us of alternative ways culture can survive despite the systemic censorship and assimilation it faces.
