Voices from the Holy Land, in conjunction with Bright Stars of Bethlehem, invites you understand the next generation of Palestinians’ perceptions of the Occupation. We are screening three short films (see below) directed by students from Dar al-Kalima University’s College of Arts and Culture in Bethlehem. These powerful award-winning films reveal glimpses of life under Occupation through the eyes of the youth. Please watch all three films at your convenience and then join us for the online discussion. Participating in the Q&A Discussion will be:
Saed Andoni – Former Head of Films Production Program at Dar al-Kalima University College of Arts and Culture, co-founder of Bethlehem Student Film Festival
Saleh Kayal Tamimi – Dar al-Kalima University College of Arts and Culture, 2014

“Ghetto” - Issa, who was deprived of living in the old city of Hebron for a long time because of the Occupation, is trying to help the rest of the Palestinians there.
“Visitation” - Families of Palestinian prisoners wake up before sunrise to join the international Red Cross trip to visit their sons and loved ones in Israeli jails.
“The Living of Pigeons”- Its 1:30 am and the cold is penetrating, as hundreds of workers arrive at Checkpoint 300. What will happen next is something that eyes don't often see.
