Join us for a screening of Palestine Cinema Days in Amsterdam. On the somber anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, observed on November 2nd, and in an effort to amplify Palestinian voices, we are screening Resistance, Why? (Christian Ghazi, 1971) and Naila and the Uprising (Julia Bacha, 2017) at 19:30 p.m. at Joe’s Garage. The screening is free of charge.

Resistance, Why? (56 mins): In 1970, with the initiative of Soraya Antonius (Fifth of June Society), Christian Ghazi and Noureddine Chatti went to meet Arab political figures, and in particular Palestinians living in Lebanon. Ghassan Kanafani, Sadiq Jalal El-Azm, Nabil Shaath, and others offer their visions of the Palestinian revolution, anchoring it in its history since the early 20th century.

Naila and the Uprising (76 minutes): Chronicling the remarkable journey of Naila Ayesh and a fierce community of women at the frontlines, whose stories weave through the most vibrant, nonviolent mobilization in Palestinian history – the First Intifada in the late 1980s.
