Film Screening: “Lyd”
A story of a city that once connected Palestine to the world –
what it once was, what it is now,
and what it could have become.
Join the Center for Palestine Studies at Columbia for a screening of Lyd (2023), followed by a conversation and Q&A with the film's directors, Sarah Ema Friedland and Rami Younis, moderated by Brian Boyd.
This feature-length, sci-fi documentary shares multiple pasts, presents, and futures of the city of Lyd in Palestine/Israel. From the perspective of the city herself, voiced by Palestinian actress Maisa Abd Elhadi, the viewer is guided through the lifespan of a five-thousand-year-old city and its residents.
