Jerusalem Moments 2011

The Jerusalem Moments Film Project started in 2007, in partnership with the Jerusalem Cinematheque. Each year, Ir Amim, a non-profit organization seeking to render Jerusalem a more equitable city for Israelis and Palestinians, chooses directors to address the subject in film. In 2011, the project focused on three young Palestinian leaders working for change in their communities.

Safaa Alayan, 23, grew up in East Jerusalem and it has always bothered her that her neighbourhood has no trees, no playgrounds, no green grass, while the Jewish neighbourhood across the street does.  Safaa decides to take action into her own hands.

BEHIND THE WALL  by Murad Nassar (20')
Kafr Aqab is located between Jerusalem and Ramallah. Even though it is inside the boundaries of  "united" Jerusalem, it is on the other side of the separation wall, where the residents live in complete urban chaos.  Samih Abu Rumeilah, 37, is working to improve the situation.
