Featuring the work of artists including Banksy, Ron English, Blu and others, as well as Palestinian artists and activists, these photos express outrage, compassion, and touching humour.

All welcome, with words provided on the day! Many are known songs such as ‘We shall overcome’, ‘This Land Is My Land’, and we hope to have a lead musician to help us along, on *each SingOut‘. The more people who can support this, the STRONGER THE MESSAGE, so do come along, and remember, none of us are necessarily singers, but
we are COMMITTED TO ENDING THIS INJUSTICE.
*SingOut for Freedom and Justice will ALSO be held fortnightly, outside the Guildhall, on Saturdays, 1:30-2:30, from then on. However, we wish for a big number of people on the 10 July to mark the national BDS, (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions), day, and commemorate the 5th anniversary call by Palestinian Civil Society for BDS actions to be taken worldwide, to awaken elected governments who have chosen to remain silent.

Directed by and starring Palestinian-Israeli filmmaker Elia Suleiman (DIVINE INTERVENTION), THE TIME THAT REMAINS is a semi-autobiographical exploration of the creation of the state of Israel, from 1948 through to the present day. Entered in competition at both the Cannes and Toronto film festivals in 2009, this affecting black comedy is structured as four episodes, each recounting the foundation of the Israeli state through a series of retrospectives from Suleiman and his family. This immensely personal film is an engaging first-hand account of what it means to be a young Palestinian growing up in a country where your people have been rendered a minority in the wake of war.
This film is being shown from 18th June for one week. Depending on attendance levels the cinema will decide on Monday evening whether to show it for a further week.
