SHOWCASE: PALESTINIAN LANDSCAPES

Palestinian Landscapes brings together two powerful films exploring empire, ecology, and resistance. Razan Alsalah’s A Stone’s Throw evokes dreamlike cycles of displacement and return across fragmented geographies shaped by resource and labor economies. In Foragers, Jumana Manna traces the criminalization of foraging in Palestine, revealing how colonial legal systems regulate access to land and tradition. Together, these films offer poetic and political meditations on landscape as both a site of control and a ground for resilience. Through intimate gestures and expansive visions, Palestinian Landscapes asks: who defines the land and who belongs to it?

Director Razan Alsalah will be in attendance for the screening + Q&A.
