Slingshot Hip Hop Documentary, 83 minutesThis film braids together the stories of young Palestinians living in Gaza, the West Bank and inside Israel as they discover Hip Hop and employ it as a tool to surmount divisions imposed by occupation and poverty. From internal checkpoints and Separation Walls to gender norms and generational differences, this is the story of young people crossing the borders that separate them.

Occupation 101Documentary, 90 minutesHere, a comprehensive analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is presented in order to dispel many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions. The film works through the first wave of Jewish immigration from Europe in the 1880’s, to the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.

March 30
To See If I'm SmilingDocumentary, 59 minutesIn this film, former Israeli soliders revisit their tours of duty in the occupied territories with surprising honesty and strip bare stereotypes of gender differences in the military. These women share shocking moments of negligence, flippancy, and power-tripping.
