Foragers (2022) by Jumana Manna is a captivating film that explores the tension between tradition, ecology, and state control. Set in the landscapes of Palestine, the film delves into the practice of foraging wild edible plants like za'atar and akkoub, which are deeply tied to cultural heritage but face legal restrictions under conservation laws. Blending documentary and fictional elements, Foragers highlights the complex interplay between environmental protection and the preservation of ancestral traditions, offering a poignant reflection on cultural identity, resilience, and resistance.
The language in the film is spoken in Arabic and will be subtitled in English.

We invite you to our bi-monthly recurring movie showing: "Cinema of Resistance". Thursday 12th of september we’ll show the movie: Lemon Tree. Entry, Palestinian bites and the movie poster are available for a small donation. Drinks and merchandise can be bought during the event.
The wonderful Hiam Abbass is Salma, a Palestinian widow who earns her living tending to her late father's lemon grove. When an Israeli government minister moves next door and declares the grove a potential security threat, Salma struggles to defend her peaceful livelihood. Personal drama gives way to political controversies as Salma forms an unexpected bond with the minister's lonely wife, and takes her protest - with the help of her young lawyer - all the way to the Israeli Supreme Court. A dramatic and cinematic depiction of actual events.
The language in the film is spoken in Arabic and Hebrew and will be subtitled in English.
