About this Event
??? No Pride in Genocide: Creativity of the Palestinian Resistance ???
This Pride month, we reject the Israeli government’s pinkwashing to justify their genocidal, colonial project and celebrate the resilience and creativity of the Palestinian resistance. How do you resist oppression when your oppressor blocks every possible way to self-expression? The collection of films we’ll screen deals with this question. All screenings are free!
We’ll start the screenings on Tuesday, 16th of July, with Sultana’s Reign by Hadi Moussally (2023), a short film portraying a proud Palestinian drag queen named Sultana. We hear Sultana’s story as a displaced Palestinian, her love of her heritage and her everlasting commitment to be true to herself. Then we’ll watch 5 Broken Cameras by Emad Burnat and Guy Davidi (2011). It is a documentary on a Palestinian farmer's chronicle of his nonviolent resistance to the actions of the Israeli army as the Israeli occupation seizes most of his village’s farmland in the West Bank. Using his five video cameras, each broken by the Israeli military, he portrays a different part of the story of his village's resistance to Israeli oppression.
