Lyd (Directed by Rami Younis and Sara Ema Friedland, 2024, 79 minutes)

A sci-fi documentary that follows the rise and fall of Lyd — a 5,000-year-old metropolis that was once a bustling Palestinian town until it was conquered when the State of Israel was established in 1948. As the film unfolds, a chorus of characters creates a tapestry of the Palestinian experience of this city and the trauma left by the massacre and expulsion.

Included in the admission and shown before the feature:

The Present (Directed by Farah Nabulsi, 2020, 24 minutes)

A work of guerilla filmmaking, The Present tells the story of Yusuf, who must pass through a West Bank checkpoint with his daughter to buy his wife a gift. But nothing is ever easy under military occupation for Palestinians who must navigate checkpoints daily to survive.
