7.00pm – A Stone's Throw Away
Director: Line Halvorsen, Norway, 2003, 52m
This powerful documentary follows the lives of three Palestinian boys from the Dheisheh refugee camp after their thirteen-year-old friend is shot and killed by Israeli soldiers. The children amuse themselves by throwing stones at Israeli tanks. Told exclusively from their point of view, the film provides an intimate insight into their thoughts and lives, and to the humiliation, hopelessness and anger of children growing up under occupation.
8.20pm - Budrus – Special Preview Screening
Director: Julia Bacha, Israel, 2009, 70m
Ayar Morrar, an unlikely community organiser, unites Palestinians from all political factions and Israelis to save his village from destruction by Israel’s Separation Barrier. Victory seems improbable until his fifteen-year-old daughter launches a women’s contingent that quickly moves to the front lines. Budrus shines a light on people who choose non-violence to confront a threat, yet remain virtually unknown to the world.
