Jenin Cinema School
March 07, 2011
Jenin Cinema School at the Art Gallery at York University
Taking you into the heart of Palestine, Jenin Cinema School at the AGYU presents an interactive afternoon with the next generation of young Palestinian filmmakers. Screening some of their latest work, students of the Jenin Freedom Theatre's Filmmaking Studio, will the join Public Studio for a live discussion about politics, culture, and daily life in the Jenin refugee camp. Rather than imagining Palestine, these students and their current teacher in residence, acclaimed filmmaker Udi Aloni, will put you in the centre of it.
Public Studio member Elle Flanders together with celebrated video artist John Greyson, visited the Jenin Freedom Theatre's Filmmaking Studio last summer. Flanders and Greyson will moderate a conversation with director Udi Aloni and his students via Skype.
Artist Mohammed Mohsen and Robert Massoud of Beit Zatoun, a Palestinian culture centre in Toronto will dialogue with Palestinian artists about what is happening here on the scene in relation to what is happening in Palestine. Audiences are encouraged to participate in the Q&A with the filmmakers and artists.
This is a co-presentation with IAW, SAIA and Beit Zatoun
