Omschrijving

Engelstalig evenement bij Lux in het kader van Palestine Cinema Days. Vertoning van de documentaire Foragers met Engelse en Arabische ondertiteling.

On the 2nd of November, the anniversary of the Belfour Declaration, LUX and Nijmegen for Palestine host a screening of the film Foragers by Jumana Manna as part of Palestine Cinema Days Around the World 2026. After the screening, there will be bread with Palestinian herbs organized by My Identity.

ABOUT FORAGERS

The flavors of Palestinian cuisine depend on za’atar (wild oregano) and akoub (a thistle-like plant that tastes like artichoke). The plants grow on rocky terrain and are traditionally harvested by the people who live in these regions.

Israel has banned wild picking, however. Officially, this is to protect nature, because both plants are becoming less common in the wild. Local Palestinians see the ban as yet another form of harassment, however, and some of them take little notice of the fines, interrogations and court cases. They simply continue the calmly rebellious act of foraging. 

Foragers, by the Berlin-based Palestinian filmmaker Jumana Manna, is constructed from fictional scenes alongside documentary and archive footage, to offer a delicate and sometimes poetic look at the political implications of nature conservation. Who gets to decide what’s allowed in the natural environment, and why do they have that right? And what’s going to be the first to die out here, a plant or a cherished tradition?

ABOUT PALESTINE CINEMA DAYS AROUND THE WORLD 2026

As international news outlets, world leaders, and major social media platforms continue to censor and distort the narrative while fueling the dehumanization of Palestinians and their ongoing suffering, we are using our channels to support the forcibly cancelled Palestine Cinema Days Festival.

On November 2, the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, we are organizing over 500 Palestinian film screenings around the world. This global effort is a show of solidarity with Palestine, an act of amplification for censored Palestinian voices, and a contribution to shifting the distorted narrative.
