Film "Nakba" (director: Max Francos)

9 p.m. Theatre

Synopsis of the Film: NAKBA : arabic word meaning « disaster ».

The movie was shot in an ancient palestinian refugee camp called "Ein El -Sultan" and an ancient jordanian military camp, both located near the city of Jericho in Cisjordania.

Ein El Sultan was initially built to give shelter to the Palestinians thrown out of their lands and homes after the division of Palestine into two different countries : Israel and Palestine. After the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel annexed Cisjordania. The inhabitants of the camp were forced to move to other refugee camps In Lebanon, Jordania, Syria.

Since prehistoric times, mankind has always left a visual heritage of its existence, imprinting History on its walls.

The walls of both camps are covered with drawings, paintings and graffiti, telling a story of conquerors and conquered.

The drawings and graffiti scratched on the walls of both refugee and military camps are all original. Untouched, unchanged, filmed as they belonged initially to the locations.

As a painter, Max Francos emphasizes the esthetics of what he found, rather than making a political comment. The music, the poetry and the painting of Palestinian people compose the colors of his palette.
