NO PRIDE IN GENOCIDE: Creativity of the Palestinian Resistance (FREE)

🍉🍉🍉 No Pride in Genocide: Creativity of the Palestinian Resistance 🍉🍉🍉
This Pride month, we reject the Israeli government’s pinkwashing to justify their genocidal, colonial project and celebrate the resilience and creativity of the Palestinian resistance. How do you resist oppression when your oppressor blocks every possible way to self-expression? The collection of films we’ll screen deals with this question. All screenings are free!
On Wednesday, 17th of July, we’ll first watch Homecoming Queenz by Elias Wakeem (2021). It’s a live performance art documenting the border police’s racist and homophobic questioning when Wakeem and their white, Israeli friend Oz Marinov are interacting with them in drag. After this, we’ll screen The Wanted 18 by Amer Shomali and Paul Cowan (2014). The Wanted 18 is an animated documentary that tells the story of Palestinians in Beit Sahour who, during the First Intifada, attempted to establish a local dairy industry. They hid a herd of 18 dairy cows from Israeli security forces after the dairy collective was declared a threat to Israel's national security. The film features documentary interviews with participants, archival footage, drawings, black-and-white stop-motion animation, and re-enactments.
