Silenced
when it was first released in 1981, today Occupied Palestine seems
eerily prescient and offers a unique record of a pre-Intifada era
The
last time Occupied Palestine screened in the
US in 1981, the theater received bomb threats and had to evacuate and terminate
the show after 10 minutes. After that, film distributors wouldn't even look at
the film, and the media would not touch it.
BPFF
revives this singular documentary, rediscovered earlier this year by the London
Palestine Film Festival, for its first public US screening since then. You can
see it for free at Harvard Law School next week and engage in conversation with
Director David Koff, who will attend and engage with the audience. A few of the
other notable films featured in next week's free screenings on Monday and
Tuesday are listed below.
