The Wanted 18
Through stop-motion animation, drawings and interviews, directors Amer Shomali and Paul Cowan recreate an astonishing true story from the First Palestinian Intifada: the Israeli army’s pursuit of eighteen cows, whose independent milk production on a Palestinian collective farm was declared "a threat to the national security of the state of Israel." Screening in conjunction with Mull's Palestine Film Festival. A discounted ticket price of £5 is available to those who are booking in conjunction with Palestinian Supper Club in the Rockfield Centre after the film. Tickets for that can be booked here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/palestinian-supper-club-in-oban-tickets-884222452157?aff=oddtdtcreator Falastin Film Festival (FFF) is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit collective of Palestinians and allies dedicated to bringing Palestinian art to the Edinburgh and Highland audiences. Palestinians are often summed up as an ‘occupied people,’ and spoken for, though they have unending stories to tell. Using cinema, primarily, as a tool of resistance we strive to decolonize the narrative and equip audiences with historical context. We want to build community while celebrating Palestinian art and culture through cinema, music, cuisine, and other storytelling mediums. Scotland’s exposure to Palestinian society, art, culture, and humanity altogether remains rather limited. We hope to contribute to filling this gap, using both classical and contemporary cinema, primarily, but not exclusively. We strive to highlight Palestinian steadfast resistance, cultural preservation, stories of love, and in the words of poet Rafeef Ziadah, teachings of life. In so doing, we offer a refreshing portrayal that encompasses the geographic, linguistic, and experiential diversity of the Palestinian people, globally. falastinfilmfest.com DocumentaryPT1H15M12A2024-05-08Alison Darcy
