Screen with No Borders brings together communities in Sussex and beyond to connect, engage and immerse themselves in the stories, people, landscapes and cultures of Global Majority countries.
When Dr. Nasser Abufarha, a Palestinian American entrepreneur, returns to the occupied West Bank and finds the olive harvest in crisis, he leads a movement to preserve an ecosystem and thousands of years of ecological knowledge, helping to build one of Palestine's most influential fair-trade networks. American filmmaker and storyteller Maggie Lemere’s feature documentary follows the lives of and relationships between the Palestinian farmers and their thousands-of-years-old olive trees and is a mesmerising cinematic meditation on agriculture as form of resistance.
In the spirit of honouring the land and the environment, join us for a hearty bowl of Palestinian food. Food is served by Soraya at Taarof, a local chef and caterer who uses her mixed heritage food as a conduit for bringing people together to create a culturally enriched community.
