George Gittoes: 12/9/22 – Borderlessness Peshawar
I left for Islamabad knowing I was “going out on a limb” – that it could “all be for nothing,” and I may have to return to Australia not having been able to enter Afghanistan if I could not obtain a visa. The Afghan Embassy in Canberra had ceased giving visas without explanation and we […]

This era started with watching people jump to their deaths from the Twin Towers on 9/11 and ended twenty years later, close to 9/11, when desperate Afghans fell from the planes at Kabul Airport. We are presently contacting people who lost loved ones who clung to the planes and fell to their deaths. Our film […]

Yellow Submarine to Taliwood: 11/12/21
Watching footage of crowds running with the huge grey evacuation planes, some made it up onto the wheel hubs. Most were reaching for something to hang onto but one guy was sitting and looking into his phone screen. Was he saying goodbye to loved ones? Was someone desperately telling him to get off before it was […]

Yellow Submarine to Taliwood: Reflections on David Gulpilil
I first met David Gulpilil when we were both in our twenties, at Mataranka Caravan Park. David was dancing with a troupe from Bamyili Station to entertain the tourists. We went swimming together in the rainbow pool and David invited me to visit his traditional Country. Later, when he was famous I would often bump into […]

I took time out this morining to read Hermann Hesse’s book Siddhartha (1922) again after about fifty-five years since the first reading. Then I had to write about it. This sense of a life journey had been a big element of this journey. […]

Waqar was looking very ill when he got back from hospital last night, but assures us the doctors think he is OK and does not have COVID-19 or dengue fever. He does, still, have a temperature of 103 degrees. I will check him when he wakes up. He has been overworking with me – I push […]

I don’t accept things the way they are because it is more fun to make them something new. Picasso rearranged form; I rearrange the realities I enter. A few nights ago we went to visit Shah Jehan who is the leading intellectual Professor in Peshawar. I ended up losing it with him . . . […]

This morning we re-found the place where the 115-year-old Sufi Syed Baba G taught. He died in 2012 and his permanent resting place is in his old home, his bedroom. Two of his young students, brothers, sang the poetry of Rakman Baba. Then in the late afternoon, inspired by the songs, we went to the […]
