UK,London, Hackney: Film screening and talk: Palestine Archive Night

In an age dominated by the moving image what would it feel like to never see an image of the place that you came from?      

The Palestinian Film Archive contained over 100 films showing the daily life and struggle of the Palestinian people. The entire archive was lost in the Israeli siege of Beirut in 1982.  

 In this programme filmmakers address portayals of Palestine including from the British mandate period from 1917, and the resistance to Israeli occupation in the 1970's. 
With films from: the Imperial War Museum archive (UK); Judy Price, artist (UK); Sarah Wood, filmmaker (UK); Kais Alzubaidi, filmmaker (Iraq/Germany).

PLUS:  discussion with filmmaker Sarah Wood and artist Judy Price 
Sarah Wood is a programmer at the Cambridge Film Festival.
Judy Price recently initiated an exchange between Byam Shaw
School of Art and International Academy of Art Palestine.
