Convened by novelist and scholar Adania Shibli, this event will explore questions related to the highly contested, fragmented space of Palestine/Israel. Breaking up the standard pattern of a scholarly symposium, it will not only feature talks and presentations, but also screenings of original art-work. The participating artists and scholars are Raed Bawaya, Kamal Boullata, Penelope Curtis, Catherine David, Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti, Eyal Sivan and Hani Zurob.
Filming Palestine in Israel, and vice versa — Eyal Sivan
In his presentation, filmmaker Eyal Sivan addresses questions about the ways in which Palestine - a country of which large parts had been destroyed and thus forced into disappearance - appears in the Israeli cinematic landscape. Sivan furthermore examines how images of the occupation impose themselves as the image of Palestine.
