Film screening: On the side of the road
Tonight! Monday, November 10, 7 pm
ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD | Israel/Palestine | Hebrew & Arabic | 83″ | 2013
Former West Bank settler Lia Tarachansky looks at Israelis’ collective amnesia of the fateful events of 1948 when the state of Israel was born and most of the Palestinians became refugees. She follows the transformation of Israeli veterans trying uncover their denial of the war that changed the region forever. Tarachansky then turns the camera on herself and travels back to her settlement where that historical erasure gave birth to a new generation, blind and isolated from its surroundings. Attempting to shed a light on the country’s biggest taboo, she is met with outrage and violence.

Film screening: Out in the Night
Saturday November 15, 2014, 5 pm
Join director blair dorosh-walther and Patreese Johnson, Renata Hill, and Terrain Dandridge of the New Jersey 4 for a screening of Out in the Night. This documentary tells the story of a group of young friends, African American lesbians from Newark, who were out one night in 2006 New York City's West Village. They were violently and sexually threatened by a man on the street. They defended themselves and were charged and convicted in the courts, and smeared by the media as a ‘Gang of Killer Lesbians’. Come hear how their courage and resistance challenges the misogyny, racism, and homophobia of society and the (in)justice system, and sheds light on who is granted the right to self-defense.
