Planet Israel

Tuesday 9 June, 17:45: Q&A screening with director Gillian Mosely, hosted by Naomi Salaman, Founder of Sweetshop Window Gallery and Senior Lecturer in Fine Art.

After October 7th the world was shocked following the Hamas attacks in Israel. Within a few months the world recoiled in horror at the brutality of the Israeli response to those attacks.

As a British-American Jew, Gillian wants to understand the country better that was created as a Jewish homeland, as a place of safety from oppression. How do Israelis see the ongoing conflict and the devastation of Gaza and its inhabitants? The film cuts between taking heads of those she meets in the street, animated sequences, infographics and longer interviews with Israeli psychologists and historians.
