Anti-Colonial Film Night: They tried to bury us, they didn't know we were seeds

Presented by Jewish Bund x FACQ

An evening of short films that explore seed, land and food sovereignty followed by a panel discussion. We will screen the films: “The Bitter Land” (2020) by Al Warcha and Working Group on Food Sovereignty, exploring land, water, genetic heritage in rural Tunisia, ten years after the revolution, in a subtle climate of indignation and resistance,

“Who is Afraid of Ideology? Part 3: Microresistencias” (2020) by Marwa Arsanios, who turns her focus to the seed and its potential as a tool for political agency and resistance in central Colombia and

“UNDR” (2023) by Kamal Aljafari which employs archival footage recalling that Palestine remains a land subjected to aerial surveillance that seeks to appropriate the landscape.

The panel will be composed of an organiser from Aloti, a BIPoC, queer and neurodivergent led permaculture farm, filmmaker Marwa Arsanios and a farmer-activist from Brandenburg. Together we will discuss how seeds are resilience and collectively explore solidarity and resistance against colonization, genocide, and capitalism.
