To promote the change, she travels to the United States in an effort to convince farmers that the climate crisis is real, and that its consequences are destructive. Anita's journey from Malawi to California and from there to the White House brings her up close and personal with the gaps and controversies of the United States – from the gap between the big cities and the peripheral towns to the divisions between race, class and gender. Her insights into the global reality allow the film to weave together the climate crisis, gender and racial inequality, the gaps between the rich and the poor, and the struggles of organizations and groups from around the world to save the planet. 2.12.22 | Screening and Coversation with 'Mazon' Group

The film brings the story of the struggle of the Afghan women from a unique perspective, and presents a human drama that begins with a simple and innocent dream and ends with an emotional and unpredicted roller coaster.

Local Angel Tribute to Udi Aloni Local Angel Israel, 2002, 70 min Director: Udi Aloni Language & Subtitles: English, Arabic, Hebrew; subtitles in Hebrew and English Festivals: Jerusalem International Film Festival 2002, Toronto International Film Festival 2002, Berlin International Film Festival 2002 "Local Angel", a film described by philosopher Slavoj Zizek as "A masterpiece", is not an easy work to characterize. It's a deeply personal odyssey of discovery, and a surreal work of art combining poetry, music, and images both beautiful and horrific. While its subtitle is "Theological Political Fragments," the film ends by tying its many elements together in ways the viewer may not expect. Moved by the destruction on Sept. 11 Aloni returned to Israel/ Palestine to grapple with the concepts of sacrifice and the sacred embedded in the history of a much more ancient edifice - the Temple Mount. The heart of the film is Udi's effort to understand the theological-political background he inherited from his mother, Shulamit Aloni. Images of mutations of Walter Benjamin's angel haunt the film from beginning to end. "Local Angel" is both challenging to the observer, and deeply moving. It is a generous, lush, imaginative Screening and Conversation with PM Aida Touma-Suleiman and Dr. Ayelet Maoz Amal's Photo Credit: Ilan Besor Firas's Photo Credit: Angie Assal Screenings: Wed. 7.12 | 18:00 | Cinematheque 2 Tickets

In the reality of racial segregation by law between blacks and whites, a young Jew teamed up with two black brothers to form a band whose very existence, not to mention the songs and playing ability of its members, broke quite a few laws. The story of the band, which was documented during its years of activity in amazing old videos on film taken by the band members themselves, reveals the ability of music to reflect a historical moment while simultaneously offering a subversive utopian alternative. The legacy of South Africa's violent regime also includes the musical rebellion that managed to crack it.
