Onze jongeren van Blikveld organiseren deze zomer twee gratis openluchtfilms in Panorama Zomerbar in Turnhout. Kom mee kijken en geniet van twee knappe films uit het Midden-Oosten: Costa Brava Lebanon (woe 30 juli) en No Other Land (za 16 augustus).

Masafer Yatta is the name of a group of twenty Palestinian villages in the West Bank. Israel has claimed the area as a military training ground. Settlers, with the help of the army, force families to leave their homes and establish new settlements. Basel Adra, a young lawyer, along with Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham, captured the illegal actions of the Israeli military on film.

‘No Other Land’ may well be the most important documentary of our time. The film starkly and while avoiding sensationalism, exposes how Israel has stripped Palestinians of their human rights over the past decades. The emotional impact is profound, at times it feels like a horror film, but the focus on friendship brings hope. The documentary premiered at the Berlin Film Festival last year, where it won both the Audience Award and Best Documentary Award.
