Stars at Midday –نجوم الضهر is a personal production diary, published by Occasional Papers. It compiles visual and poetic notes from the production phase of Noor Abed’s film A Night We Held Between, filmed in Palestine in 2023 with family and friends. Like the film whose production it chronicles, the book interweaves narrative fragments, song and diaristic observations, creating a fusion of natural and composed sequences of movement, of documentary and fictional elements. Through a choreography of bodies, sites, stories, and temporalities, Abed’s work prompts contemplation on the manifestations of social action and resistance in everyday life.
