The Book of Khalid the Movie

A cycle of short mixed-media animations loosely transcribing The Book of Khalid (1911) by my relative Ameen Rihani. The video was produced in stereoscopic 3D, the tension between the two optical channels relating to the dual protagonists of this forgotten proto-Orientalist novel.

This series of works arose from the study of Little Syria , and is to some extent a culmination of the Little Syria Archive and related preservation work.
