Released in 1988, Measures of Distance is a documental film directed by Mona Hatoum, running about 15 minutes.

What it’s about. In this video, the artist tries to overcome the effects of distance, and reflects on geography represented in exile due to war, and on the psychological distance represented in each one’s approach to her womanhood. The video beautifully weaves personal images and audio recordings of a very intimate nature, binding the personal with the political. Reading aloud from letters sent by her mother in Beirut, Hatoum creates a visual montage reflecting her feelings of separation and isolation from her Palestinian family. The personal and political are inextricably bound in a narrative that explores personal and family identity against a backdrop of traumatic social rupture, exile and displacement.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.7/10, Measures of Distance has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
