SUMMARY:"No Other Land" Film Screening & Panel
DESCRIPTION:An act of creative resistance to Apartheid\, No Other Land documents a Palestinian activist and his unlikely alliance with an Israeli journalist\, as he searches for a path towards equality and justice. Join us for this film screening and panel discussion. \n\n\n\nNo Other Land is the 2025 Oscar winner for Best Documentary Feature\, a major win for a film that couldn’t get a U.S. distributor. \n\n\n\nFilm Screening will begin at 7:30pm to allow people to break fast for Ramadan. In the meantime\, Taína Asili will share her most recent video “Strong Tree” about the local movement in support of Palestine. \n\n\n\nSOLD OUT\n\n\n\nFilm synopsis\n\n\n\nOver five years\, a Palestinian-Israeli collective of directors captured footage of Masafer Yatta residents in the West Bank and their struggle\, survival\, and death in the face of the Israeli military and settlers\, as they witnessed the destruction of their homes and schools and were forced to leave their villages with nowhere to go. Yet No Other Land is more than a powerful work of cinéma vérité; it is the story of the growing friendship between Palestinian activist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham\, both united by harrowing circumstances and one fragile idea: that through cinema and resistance\, one can (perhaps) imagine a space of peace and freedom that never existed in their lives. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNo Other Land is an award winning documentary\, including the winner of the 2025 Oscar for Best Documentary Feature award and the 2024 Berlinale Best Documentary award.  \n\n\n\nPanelists:\n\n\n\nHana’ is a farmer and beekeeper\, who just returned home to the Capital District after spending two months in Palestine. Hana’ is an activist with the Palestinian Rights Committee. \n\n\n\nFaris is a Palestinian and Muslim American\, originally from a small Palestinian village outside the city of Ramallah. Faris is a member of the Palestine Narrative Project\, working to educate the Capital Region on the Palestinian cause and inspire people to work towards Palestinian liberation. \n\n\n\nKeren Carmeli is a member of the Albany chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace and the Palestinian Rights Committee. She is an anti-Zionist Israeli-American who was raised in occupied Palestine\, and draws on her family’s Holocaust survival story to inform her dedication to the liberation of Palestine”. \n\n\n\nModerator: Jude Abu Zaineh is a Palestinian-Canadian interdisciplinary artist-curator working across art\, food\, science\, and technology studies. Her work develops counter-archive practices and investigates themes of culture\, displacement\, storytelling\, diaspora\, and belonging\, through de-colonial and feminist perspectives. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsors\n\n\n\n\n\nJewish Voices for Peace\n\n\n\n\n\nPalestinian Rights Committee
