TFTS Film Club & Socialist Society Screening: 5 Broken Cameras
We're pleased to announce that this week's screening - in collaboration with @socialistsoc - is:
5 Broken Cameras (2011) dir. Emad Burnat & Guy Davidi
When his fourth son, Gibreel, is born, Emad, a Palestinian villager, gets his first camera. In his village, Bil'in, a separation barrier is being built and the villagers start to resist this decision. For more than five years, Emad films the struggle, which is led by two of his best friends, alongside filming how Gibreel grows. Very soon it affects his family and his own life. Daily arrests and night raids scare his family; his friends, brothers and himself are either shot or arrested. One camera after another is shot at or smashed. Each of the 5 cameras tells part of his story.
@socialistsoc will be holding a bake sale at this screening. All proceeds raised will be donated to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (@thepcrf)
Join us in the Parry-Williams Cinema at 6pm this Thursday 7th, followed by discussion and drinks in the SU.
