Filmscreening: Shalom Abu Bassem by Nissim Mossek 

Over a period of nearly two decades, Nissim Mossek filmed two families living on Haladiya Street in the Moslem Quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City. The dark red blood stains on the cobble stones of tense street still bear silent witness to the violence that has occurred here. The family of Abu Bassam, long-time Moslem residents and the family of Danny Robbins, Jewish settlers, live close to each and their lives reflect the events that have occurred on Haladiya Street. The film is a rare opportunity to see how the lives of Jewish

and Moslem residents have intertwined on an unforgettable street in the Moslem Section of the Old City. With the pathos of real people, living under extremely difficult conditions, Shalom Abu Bassem pictures the complexity of the conflict between the two peoples.
