Information
We No Longer Prefer Mountains (2023, 93 min) begins with an ascent of Mount Carmel upon which the Druze towns of Dalyet el Carmel and Isfiya are located, drawing the viewer into a world of geographic isolation and a locale shaped by coercion and control. Weaving together intimate engagements with members of the community in shared domestic spaces and outdoor environments, the film explores how the inner politics of the Druze have been reconfigured and reshaped since 1948, whilst opening up possibilities for imagining alternative futures.
An in-person conversation between the director, Inas Halabi, and artist/filmmaker Jumana Manna will follow the screening.
This screening is free and open to everyone. Registration required!
We No Longer Prefer Mountains is presented in collaboration with the Boston Palestine Film Festival.
