Filmscreening:
Zeitgeist by Peter Joseph
Saturday 30 August, 8pm sharp
Zeitgeist, a movie by
Peter Joseph, was created as a nonprofit expression to inspire people to start
looking at the world from a more critical perspective and to understand that
very often things are not what the population at large think they are.
The
movie aims to point out that there is a tendency to simply disbelieve things
that are counter to our understanding, without the necessary research performed.
The movie also provides an opportunity to test your critical thinking. The
enjoyment of indulging in Zeitgeist's
'conspiracy theories' is not the self-congratulation of being skeptical but
being able to explain where they succeed and fail. You might be saying 'wait a
minute' and questioning what you thought you knew. Consequently, the movie
provides plenty of food for thought and
discussion.
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.
