Leeds Palestinian Film Festival Fundraiser
We need to raise funds for this year’s Film Festival in order to pay for some great films and travel expenses for speakers coming from other places. Please come and support us!
Along with a tasty Middle eastern buffet we’ll be showing one of our favourite Palestinian films, The Wanted 18 a tale of talking cows and Palestinian rebellion.
The Wanted 18 recounts the true story of how the Palestinian neighbourhood of Beit Sahour near Bethlehem acquired a herd of 18 dairy cows and then had to hide them from the Israeli security forces when their existence was absurdly deemed a threat to national security.
This winning mix of documentary and clay-animation offers an unexpectedly humorous account of a West Bank town’s experience of the first Intifada, a subject that doesn’t usually generate a lot of laughs in cinema.
