SUMMARY:Movie: Foragers
DESCRIPTION:In her cinematic investigation into the Palestinian practice of foraging za’atar (a thyme-like herb) and ’akkoub (a wild artichoke-like plant)\, artist Jumana Manna reveals the perils involved in the preservation of Arab traditions under Israeli law. Her inventive blend of fiction\, documentary and archival footage in FORAGERS coalesces into a warm portrait of a community whose daily activities resist continued repression. \nBeginning with archival footage from a ‘70s Israeli TV program in which the popularity of za’atar among Arabs is being discussed\, the film shows an Israeli businessman boasting about his decision to start planting and selling za’atar\, transforming the herb from a public good typically foraged by Palestinians into an agricultural commodity that profits Israelis. (It is no coincidence the footage is from the same decade that saw a public ban on the collection of za’atar in Israel.) Manna’s film is clear about how business and politics are embroiled in the continued erasure of Palestinian culture to such effect that the “very simple act of going out and collecting wild weeds becomes about a much wider politics of land control and sovereignty.” \nFor Manna\, FORAGERS is the product of her longstanding interest in the “politics of preservation” and her own experience foraging alongside her parents\, who appear throughout the film. Her refusal to let Israeli authorities decide “what gets preserved and gets erased” informs her approach to filmmaking\, in which the documentation of family customs affirms Palestinian values and traditions against systemic attempts at blotting a people\, their land\, and their culture from the world’s collective memory.

SUMMARY:Movie: Foragers
DESCRIPTION:The Olympia Film Society \npresents “Foragers” by \nPalestinian artist & filmmaker\, Jumana Manna \nCapitol Theater in Olympia \nThursday\, April 11th\, 7 p.m. \nThe event marks Rachel Corrie’s 45th birthday (on April 10th)\, with proceeds benefitting Palestinian children in Gaza. \nThe Olympia Film Society\, in conjunction with the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice\, will screen the documentary film Foragers\, Thursday\, April 11th\, at the Capitol Theater\, 206 5th Ave SE\, in Olympia. Doors open at 6 p.m\, and the film will screen at 7 p.m. \nWith “wry humor and a meditative pace\,” the film depicts the dramas around the Palestinian custom of foraging for wild edible plants\, and the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on these customs. The film’s director\, Jumana Manna\, is a Palestinian visual artist and filmmaker whose “work explores how power is articulated\, focusing on the body\, land and materiality in relation to colonial inheritances and histories of place.” \nThe 64-minute documentary will be followed by a post-film presentation and Q&A with Savvina Chowdhury\, Political Economy and Environmental Justice Professor at The Evergreen State College\, and by Peter Bohmer\, representing the recently formed Palestine Action of South Sound (PASS). \nThe film event will mark and celebrate the 45th birthday of local activist Rachel Corrie\, killed by the Israeli military in 2003 as she stood to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family’s home in Gaza. Rachel’s mother\, Cindy Corrie\, will introduce the documentary. Proceeds from the film screening will benefit Palestinian children in Gaza. \nOlympita\, the Palestinian owned food truck\, will have a pop up\, serving Za’atar pie and other delicious food! \nTickets are available online now and at the box office 60 minutes before showtime. \n$13 General Admission & $10 for OFS members \nAll Proceeds Benefit Palestinian Children in Gaza.
