Fitna is a 2008 short film by the right-wing Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders. Approximately 17 minutes in length, the film shows a selection of Suras from the Qurán, interspersed with media clips and newspaper clippings showing or describing acts of violence and hatred by Muslims. The movie wishes to demonstrate that the Qurán and the Islamic culture in general, motivates its followers to hate all who violate the Islamic teachings.
Consequently, the film argues Islam encourages, among others, acts of terrorism, antisemitism, violence against woman and Islamic universalism. A large part of the movie deals with the influence of Islam on the Netherlands.
MEDIATION is a 3 channel video installation made in the aftermath of the controversial release of Wilders film.
