Groundbreaking documentary film about atrocities in the Uyghur Region, featuring Jewher Ilham, her father Ilham Tohti, and Abduweli Ayup, opens in Victoria at the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival with American Director David Novack, Collaborator Abduweli Ayup, and the Uyghur community in attendance.
The filmmakers collaborated with the Uyghur diaspora in seven countries to create a film that exposes the enormity of state-sponsored oppression and individual struggles under horrific conditions. Masterfully edited, All Static & Noise weaves photography, animation, dance, poetry, an original music score and personal testimony into a compelling documentary experience that stimulates all senses and reminds us that in the darkest of times, we are strongest together. All Static & Noise won the Best in Category award at the 2023 Doc Edge International Film Festival in New Zealand and Best Feature Documentary at the 2023 Australian Muslim Film Festival in 2023. These honours have been followed by sold-out screenings at all subsequent festivals.
