“5 x Lydda” Film Screening

April 1, 2015 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm

"5 x Lydda" Film screening
The 14th Street Y
344 E 14th St, New York, NY 10003

"5 x Lydda" is a documentary installation about the 1948 history of the city of Lyd/Lod (formerly Lydda) and how the war continues to permeate the present.

Told from the point of view of Palestinians, as well as archival interviews with Israeli soldiers who were present in 1948, the film explores a difficult and overlooked moment in history and how that moment is still alive in the present.

The night will also feature a new play by Jenny Levison and Josh Waletzky and readings of the ancient Jewish texts that helped inspire these works.

This work is supported through a fellowship with LABA House of Study. http://www.labajournal.com/.
