FORAGERS, Jumana Manna
2022, 64 min. Arabe et hébreu sous-titré anglais
Shot in the Golan Heights, the Galilee, and Jerusalem, FORAGERS employs fiction, documentary, and archival footage to show the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on Palestinian foraging practices. The restrictions prohibit the collection of wild ’akkoub and za’atar, and have resulted in fines and trials for hundreds of people – exclusively Arabs. While Israel insists the laws are necessary to protect the native plants from extinction, for Palestinians they constitute an ecological veil for legislation that further alienates them from their land and culture. Though singular in its focus, FORAGERS provides a striking illumination of the links between land, food, indigeneity, law, and the quotidian defiance necessitated by life under occupation.
INFILTRATORS, Khaled Jarrar
2012, 70 min. Arabe sous-titré anglais.
Artist Khaled Jarrar shadows West Bank residents as they search for ways to bypass the highly militarized Israeli apartheid wall that separates them from Jerusalem. Over, under, or through, with great difficulty and risk, the infiltrators are by turn people who wish to visit relatives in hospitals, religious women trying to reach Al Aqsa, teenage boys tasked with “smuggling” bread, or, most often, construction workers: Palestinian men whose labor will be used to build up the city they are not permitted to enter. Alternating between cigarette breaks, detours, waiting, climbing, escaping, and confrontation, INFILTRATORS depicts the constant struggle to both survive and resist captivity and occupation.
