DESCRIPTION:The screening of the film will be followed by Q&A discussion with film 
 director Nahed Awwad. Running time is 52 Minutes. English subtitles.\n\nThe 
 Jerusalem Airport lies along the road that links Jerusalem to Ramallah. It 
 has been occupied by Israeli army since 1967, at a 5 kilometer distance 
 from Ramallah and 10 kilometer distance from Jerusalem. Today, to the east 
 of the runway, a huge military checkpoint blocks the Jerusalem-Ramallah 
 road, a dead end street.\nNahed Awwad discovers that life has not always 
 been like this, and that this sad spot used to be a place where 
 international aircrafts landed in the 1950s and 1960s, when Palestinians 
 traveled freely. The happy images and testimonies of the past contrast 
 bitterly with those of the present where access is denied to the aviation 
 zone that is now being besieged behind barbed wire and soon will be trapped 
 behind the Israeli Separation Wall.\n\nNahed Awwad goes to meet this place, 
 evoking the past in order to have a better apprehension of the present: 
 today’s Palestinian reality that is marked by 
 forgetfulness.\n\n=================================================================\n\nCALL
