UP CLOSE | Film Screening
Sunday June 22 | 12:30 pm
Innis Town Hall | $8 or pwyc
Ordinary people pay the highest price in any conflict. When
conflicts last for a long time, people hope, every day of every year,
that this will be the last. They just cannot imagine that human
madness can last so long. But it does, and the same questions have to
be asked, again and again. Until the need arises to turn to the
previous generations, not simply to ask, but to hear answers.
Curated by George Khleifi (Ramallah, Palestine)
Programme:
_Once Again: Five Palestinian Human Rights Stories_ produced by The
Institute of Modern Media, Al Quds University (Palestine, 2001)
_3cm less_ by Azza El-Hassan (Palestine 2003)
