TELLING STRINGS
Director: Anne-Marie Haller
NY PREMIERE

A rare look into the profound workings of the Jubran famiy, a Palestinian family of musicians from al-Rameh village in the northern Galilee. The Father, Elias, a musician and instructor has been building traditional string instruments such as ouds and bouzouqs in his al-Rameh workshop since 1965. The film connects the history of two generations and questions cultural identity between protest, resignation and hope.

THE INVISIBLE
Director: Gil Karni
SPECIAL DIRECTOR'S PRESENTATION

A 12-year-long diary of the Bedouin village "Arab al-Na'im" in the Galillee and their struggle for their rights. The people of Arab al-Na'im have inhabited their land for the past 200 years, serve in the Israeli army, yet live in tin huts, without electricity or running water, and in constant struggle with the Israeli administration to be visible.
