FRIENDS OF LE MONDE DIPLOMATIQUE - FILM - PROGRAMME 2007
This season we will be introducing two film nights into the Café Diplo programme at The Gallery at Farringdon. These events are listed below and can also be found in the Calendar section with the main programme.
Monday October 29th: FILM - THE LAND OF THE SETTLERS with PAUL USISKIN
We will screen an episode from the prize winning Israeli documentary series “The Land of the Settlers”. This is a powerful and controversial series of documentary films made by Israel TV's veteran news presenter Haim Yavin and it caused a storm when first shown because of Yavin's intense criticism of the settlement enterprise.
The Q&A will be taken by Paul Usiskin Co-Chairman of Peace Now UK an organisation dedicated to opposing the occupation and seeking a negotiated settlement for a Two States solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Paul produced documentary films for the BBC also on the occupation. We can therefore have a discussion both on the politics of the conflict and on the role film can play in the political process.
