FILMS BY PALESTINIAN AND ISRAELI PEOPLES

Through a diverse program of short films, this year’s series will celebrate and support the creative talents of Palestinian and Israeli filmmakers. Every filmmaker has a unique perspective on their culture and their world. The films selected both narrative and documentary, will provide views into the psyche of these communities and deepen our understanding of Palestinian and Israeli life, lands, and cultures.

EXPERIENCEING PALESTINIAN AND ISRAELI CULTURE

The short films shown at this special event are the apex of an entire evening of artistic expression.

While tasting the culinary delights of both Palestinians and Israelis, the audience will enjoy a display of fine art: paintings and photographs. Entertainment will include Palestinian and Israeli dance and music that will express the vibrant and artistic beauty of these two diverse cultures.
