Fire From Afar is an essay film that attempts to thread medicine, chemistry, warfare and the birth of cinema into one explosive filament. Filmed between 2015 and 2021, the film documents thousands of Milvus birds of prey circling annually in the airspace above the Gaza-Israel border. At the same time, the narration unfolds a conceptual journey: it traces how cotton from Gaza gave rise to gauze in medieval Europe, and how this fabric was used both as a bandage and as a flammable base for celluloid film. Evron’s montage argues that gauze bandages, gunpowder, and photographic film are successive states of the same material—and all are prone to ignition. The film’s conclusion is stark: every image is a bandage stretched across history’s open wound, and cinema—born of fire—inevitably carries the flames of the conflicts it records.
