DESCRIPTION:The documentary Encounter Point will play at the Grand Lake Theater, 3200 
 Grand Avenue in Oakland, on September 25th and 26th at 4:30 and 7:30. 
 Winner of the 2006 San Francisco International Film Festival Audience 
 Award, the film follows the lives of a few Israelis and Palestinians who 
 have suffered great hardship in the conflict between the two groups. In the 
 face of violence and immense loss, these individuals step forward to end 
 the circle of hate and promote reconciliation. After screening in Haifa, 
 Gaza and Jerusalem, the film is coming back to audiences across the United 
 States.\n\nFilmmakers Ronit Avni and Julia Bacha (writer of Control Room, 
 winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Full Frame Film Festival and the Official 
 Selection at the Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals in 2004) have captured 
 the true story of brave individuals who are overcoming anger and grief to 
 work on a grassroots solution. The filmmakers are committed to spreading 
 the word about the heroic efforts of these ordinary people and to 
 illustrating peaceful efforts and accomplishments not shown in the media. 
 Through the journeys of several subjects in the film, Encounter Point shows 
 that change is possible and Avni and Bacha believe that their film can be 
 both a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change.\n\nOne of the filmmakers 
 will be at the September 26th, 7:30 screening for a question-and-answer 
 session.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/08/25/18300604.php
