FILM SCREENINGS

Palestinian filmmakers from different locations - Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza - challenge the erasure of their histories through creatively retracing, retrieving and reflecting on different aspects of Palestinian pasts to challenge dispossession and dehumanisation of a stateless people. The films are part of the Creative Interruptions research project. Director Mahasen Naser Eldin and Yousef Nateel will take part in the post-screening discussions. https://creativeinterruptions.com/palestiniancinema/thepastinthepresent/
