Masahat screens

This year’s Masahat Screens will be dedicated to films from the Arab world that thematize protest, life under occupation, and the struggles of living in exile.

The program will consist of two parts: a selection from awarded Danish-Palestinian filmmaker Mahdi Fleifel’s short films and an Israeli-Palestinian documentary, Five Broken Cameras (2011) relating life in the West Bank under Israeli occupation.The program will also include an interlude, a selection of videos from Some Strings, an initiative of filmmakers and artists from around the world who have each contributed with a filmic gesture in honor to the late poet and teacher Refaat Alareer’s poem “If I must Die”.

The film program is curated by Mira Adoumier.
