Where: BLOC Cinema, Arts One Building, Queen Mary University of London, Mile End Road, London, E1 4NS
A part of IHSS Visiting Fellow Dr Tawfiq Da’adli’s (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) and "Focus on Palestine" events
The screening of the film Lyd (2024) by Rami Younis & Sarah Ema Friedland (1 hour 19 mins) will be followed by a discussion with the IHSS Visiting Fellow historian Dr Tawfiq Da’adli (Hebrew University of Jerusalem).
A sci-fi documentary follows the rise and fall of Lyd - a 5,000-year-old metropolis that was once a bustling Palestinian town until it was conquered when the State of Israel was established in 1948.
As the film unfolds, a chorus of characters creates a tapestry of the Palestinian experience of this city and the trauma left by the massacre and expulsion.
