Film Screening: خـــيوط الســــــــــرد Stitching Palestine
by Carol Mansour, 2017, إخــراج كارول منصور
Run time: 77 minutes
Twelve resilient, determined and articulate women from disparate walks of life: lawyers, artists, housewives, activists, architects, and politicians stitch together the story of their homeland, of their dispossession, and of their unwavering determination that justice will prevail. Through their stories, the individual weaves into the collective, yet remaining distinctly personal. Twelve women, twelve life-spans and stories from Palestine; a land whose position was fixed on the map of the world, but is now embroidered on its face.

Palestine Cinema Days, which was set to take place in Ramallah, will not take place in Palestine this year. Instead friends and partners from around the world will be organizing screenings of films by Palestinians and about Palestine, creating a space for representation and narratives that come directly from Palestinians.
This film is being screened in partnership with Cineastra Film Festival. Their film programme second sights, infrared sprites curated by Hannan Jones is taking place on the same evening just before this screening at 6pm.
