"33 days" is a documentary on life in Lebanon under the Israeli bombardment of July - August 2006. Award winning Palestinian filmmaker Mai Masri follows the efforts of several dedicated humanitarians to keep their communities strong in the midst of destruction: from a woman reporting from the rubble as rockets jet past her, to a young man who keeps his neighborhood's children entertained with improvised games in his local theatre while bombs fall in the distance. The film is full of compassion and humanity even as it records the devastation of war.
Run time: 70 minutes
Year: 2007
Talk back to follow screening.
Palestine House invites all our friends to join us at for a showing of the play "My Name is Rachel Corrie"
Place: Tarragon Extra Space, 30 Bridgeman Avenue.Limited number of seats available, please purchase your tickets early.
In 2003 American activist, Rachel Corrie was killed by an Israeli army bulldozer. She was 23 years old.
Alan Rickman and Katharine Viner edited Rachel's diaries and emails turning them into a play, "My Name Is Rachel Corrie". Attempts to mount the play have met with stiff resistance from supporters of Israeli apartheid - including a year ago when a scheduled production at the St. Lawrence Centre for the Performing Arts was pulled.
Freedom of speech will not be silenced, and so it is that My Name Is Rachel Corrie has found a home at the Tarragon Extra Space. In a show of support for freedom of speech and resistance, Palestine House has booked a showing and appreciates all members of the community making an effort to attend.
Call for Submissions The Toronto Palestine Film Festival (TPFF) is now accepting entries for the first annual festival to be held in October 2008.
Conceived by Palestine House, the Festival is an important component of the year-long activities commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the Nakba.
