Palästina Komitee Zürich
PALESTINIAN LAND DAY — FILM PROGRAM & TALK
📍 Zentralwäscherei Zürich
🗓 Saturday, 7 March, 19:30
🎟️ Free Entry
As the 50th anniversary of Palestinian Land Day approaches on March 30th, we invite you to a film screening and input reflecting on land as the heart of the Palestinian struggle for liberation; its fragmentation, dispossession, and the Palestinian people’s steadfast resistance to ongoing Zionist settlement and land grab.
Since October 2023, forced displacement has intensified across Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem, alongside the ongoing brutal genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. This event situates today’s Zionist aggression within a longer history of erasure, expulsion, and forced dispossession.
PROGRAM:
✦ Ma’loul Celebrates its Destruction (1984) by Michel Khleifi | 32 min
✦ Yom al-Ard (2019) by Monica Maurer | 15 min
✦ Masafer Yatta: Forced from Home (2023) by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) | 11 min
The film program will be followed by an input and Q&A with scientist and activist Nihad Ben Salah, who will share her experience of volunteering with the Masafer Yatta Solidarity Alliance (MYSA), and witnessing the escalation of settler violence in the southern hills of al-Khalil after the „ceasefire“ in October 2025.
