The title, flashed on screen in multiple fonts and languages, prompts us to look up the reference: Dante wonders about the imprint of Christ on the Veil of Veronica – “was your semblance made like unto this?”. In this way, Kamal Aljafari declares the underlying theme of his disquieting, found-footage collage: do the heroic, suspenseful representations of armed warfare on screen, whether in documentary or fiction, bear any resemblance to the devastating, tragic, barbaric reality?
