Director: B. H. Yael
Sunday June 18, 6.30 pm
Toronto based video artist, B.H. Yael is no stranger to controversy when it comes to making films about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Palestine Trilogy: documentations in history, land & hope, is a three-part documentation of the overlooked and often disregarded peace-building efforts that occur on a daily basis between Israelis and Palestinians.
Palestine Trilogy presents an independent voice and a critical perspective focusing on Israeli and Palestinian efforts toward coexistence. Yael confronts the reality of terror, of displacement, of walls, and the constant surveillance on families and indigenous communities while exploring the common recognition to the possibility of a different reality and a hope that the ‘sounds of peace’ may eventually predominate.
Yael is an Israeli-born Canadian who is Professor and Chair of Integrated Media at the Ontario College of Art and Design, and a passionate advocate for a just and sustainable peace in Israel/Palestine. She has directed and produced a number of video projects that reflect on the personal and political connections to the land of her birth. Positioning herself amidst controversy, Yael offers a unique perspective, challenging the traditional Canadian perception of peace efforts in the Middle East.
