Join us for the North American Premiere of My Grandfather’s Path.

Palestine Cuts presents a two-night screening of the film by documentarian Nizar Hassan.

Based on an audio recording of his grandfather that his father had done, Nizar Hasan follows the footsteps of his grandfather traveling from one end of Palestine to another, with a cameraman and a sound recorder in tow. The result is an odyssey of visual and visceral recollection reclaiming Palestine from beneath the political radar of occupation and dispossession. Nizar Hassan’s My Grandfather’s Path is a journey of faith and redemption, a pilgrimage to and from the facts and visions of a homeland otherwise concealed under the old and tired clichés.

The film will be screened in two parts, on December 1 and 2, 2020 at 6pm. The screening on 2 December will be followed by a Q&A with the film director and Hamid Dabashi, Hagop Kevorkian Professor of Iranian Studies and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.

The Palestine Cuts film series is generously supported by Jeanne & Ken Levy-Church.
