'Fadia's Tree' to be screened at Donegal Intercultural Platform.
As part of Palestinian Land Day 2023 (#LandDay) the North West Branch of Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign is hosting a special premiere screening of the award-winning new documentary film 'Fadia’s Tree'.
'Fadia's Tree' is directed by Sarah Beddington and has been described as a "poetic meditation on exile and return" by Selma Dabbagh, Electronic Intifada.
The film will be screened in Donegal Intercultural Platform at 18, Academy Court Oliver Plunkett Road Letterkenny, County Donegal F92 D684.
The screening will take place on Thursday, March 30, 2023 and will run from 7.00pm to 8.30pm.
'Fadia's Tree' begins with millions of birds migrating freely in the skies, while a Palestinian refugee in Lebanon, yearns for the ancestral homeland she is denied.
She challenges Sarah, the Director, to find an ancient mulberry tree that stands as witness to her family’s existence — with only inherited memories, a blind man and a two-headed dragon as her guides.
Along the way, Sarah meets with ornithologists whose observations on the homing instincts of the birds highlight the unresolved problems of the region.
Spanning fifteen years, this story of a friendship that stays connected across a divided land and a fragmented people adopts a birds’ eye perspective to reflect on freedom of movement, exile and the hope of return.
