Sometimes the events have an underlying political context. The children are Palestinians in an area heavily guarded by soldiers, yet, instead of filming tanks and guards, Nashashibi focuses solely on the desultory game of football.

And the grainy black-and-white footage of women at a jumble sale - a film for which she won the Beck's Futures prize in 2003 - is overlaid with a soundtrack of a traditional Egyptian love song. These Glaswegian women could have been old ladies haggling in a souk.

The latest film by the part Palestinian, part Northern Irish artist is Bachelor Machines Part 1. Set on board a cargo ship, this half-hour film offers a quiet, meditative study of an isolated, all-male environment.

While waves lash against the hulk, the men are shown chatting, smoking and waiting. Periodically, they operate machinery, bring the ship into dock or set out to sea again.

This could all be quite dull, of course, but unlike many video artists, she never stretches a sequence beyond its point of interest.

Until May 27, Chisenhale Gallery, 64 Chisenhale Road, E3, Wed to Sun, 1pm to 6pm, free. Tel: 020 8981 4518. Tube: Mile End
