untitled part 1: everything and nothing (1999) souha bechara after her release from captivity in israeli prison el-khiam in south lebanon.
An intimate dialogue that weaves back and forth between representations of a figure (of resistance) and subject with, Soha Bechara ex-Lebanese National Resistance fighter in her Paris dorm room taped (during the last year of the Israeli occupation) one year after her release from captivity in El-Khiam torture and interrogation centre (S. Lebanon) where she had been detained for 10 years, 6 years in isolation. Revising notions of resistance, survival and will, recounting to death, separation and closeness; the overexposed image and body of a surviving martyr speaking quietly and directly into the camera juxtaposed against her self and image, not speaking of the torture but of the distance between the subject and loss, of what is left behind and what remains.

I read the manga Real Clothes by Satoru Makimura a few months ago and fell in love with it within the first few chapters. The story is centered around Amano, an unadorned futon sales clerk who's takes extreme pride in her work. She's suddenly transferred to a well known fashion department with little to no interest or knowledge in clothing.
She started this stressful exploration for fashion to at minimum get a surface level understanding of it all. Throughout this she figures out how clothes can make people feel and the power within that, thus she gradually develops her personal style which is beautifully shown in each chapter and its such a fulfilling build WOW
The story dwells on many aspects of her life (even though there are many sequences where it backtracks :p) interpersonal relationships, aspirations, self doubt, body image, being a woman under the scrutiny of men..
