Mar 17 Screening Films Mar. 17th, 2010 in Mar Elias Palestinian Refugee Camp
Films have an important role to play in expressing our thoughts and recording our daily reality. They allow us to become familiar with other people’s cultures and give us the chance to benefit from other people’s experiences and knowledge especially when the opportunity to travel to distant lands is limited. Film also has a role to play in developing people’s artistic sensibilities, especially for marginalized youth who generally do not have the tools to develop their technical and expressive abilities.
Goals
To mobilize local communities and gain their interest via the outdoor activities
- To provide screening opportunities for films made by youth from the camps
- To enhance ones knowledge and perspective of the world around us
- To give people the opportunity to wonder
- To provide entertainment
- To learn more about the medium
