SUNDAY 11 JANUARY 2009 A SLIM PEACE
Yael Luttwak, UK 2007, 59 mins
When 14 women – Israelis, Palestinians,Bedouin Arabs, and American settlers - in the West Bank are brought together with the shared goal of losing weight, they find out they have far more in common than they ever would have imagined. As the world’s cameras focus on a war zone, this film allows the viewer into individual women’s lives. A Slim Peace is a sensitive, unusual, entertaining and most of all deeply human portrayal of women on both sides of the Palestinian/Israeli border.
MEMORY OF THE CACTUS
Hanna Musleh, Palestine 2008 42 mins, EST, [tbc]
LSFC is proud to present the UK première of a documentary revealing the true story behind Israel’s ‘Canada Park’. In 1967, the three Palestinian villages of ‘Imwas, Yalo and Beit Nouba in the Latroun enclave of the West Bank were razed to the ground after Israel occupied the territory. Today, the residents of those villages remain displaced and barred from returning, while Israel refuses to acknowledge the Palestinian history of the area. Israeli citizens enjoy barbecues and picnics in the Jewish National Fund’s ‘Canada Park’, oblivious to the crimes perpetrated in their names on that very land.
