Filmscreening: Close to Home by Vidi Hilu and Dailia
Hager
Saturday 23 August, 8
pm
The Film 'Close to
Home' shows the everyday life of two young Iraeli women soldiers on military
service in their home town Jerusalem. There is pressure from above, rebellion,
against it, knuckling under because of convenience or out of a sense of duty and
above all bending the rules wherever possible. Even though the women are on
patrol in Jerusalem assigned to check
Palestinians they are mainly concerned with the things most women of their age
are concerned about: phones, smoking, fashion and boys.
The AIC is a joint Palestinian-Israeli activist organization
engaged in the dissemination of information, political advocacy and grassroots
activism.
The AICafe is a political and cultural café open on Tuesday and
Saturday night from 7pm untill 11pm. It is located in the Alternative
Information Center in Beit Sahour, close to Suq a Shaab square (follow the sign
to Jadal Center). We have a small library with novels, political books and
magazines. We also sell a number of Films in DVD copies and the AIC publications
which are aimed to critically analyze both the Palestinian and Israeli societies
as well as the conflict itself.
