May 2 - May 31, in person at Anthology Film Archives 32 Second Avenue New York, NY

Cinema for Liberation

Join Writers Against the War on Gaza, in partnership with Anthology Film Archives, for a screening series (May 2-31) that gathers together struggles in Palestine and the United States: for home, livelihood, and liberation, against exile, capital, and imprisonment. Rather than collapsing these confrontations, Cinema for Liberation documents forces of subjugation and displacement and the movements that rise to face them.

In one film, Palestinian laborers sabotage an oil pipeline they built under British colonial rule. Another follows New York City workers organizing over wages and working conditions at Amazon, that global behemoth whose cloud computing services store Israeli surveillance. The final program in the series, a double feature, interrogates the prison as the pinnacle of exile and extraction in both the U.S. and Palestine.

All proceeds from the series will be donated, including to The Sameer Project, an initiative led by diaspora Palestinians working to supply emergency shelter and aid to families in Gaza; PALSHIELD, which supports farming communities in the West Bank through the provision of life-saving medical supplies, protective gear, and training programs against settler attacks; and the RAPP Campaign, which seeks to free elders and those serving lengthy sentences from incarceration in the U.S.
