GUCU Solidarity Screenings: An Orange from Jaffa + ضو – Light

​This month’s Solidarity Screening is a collaboration with Goldsmiths Student Union and Goldsmiths 4 Palestine.

​In Mohammed Almughanni’s “An Orange from Jaffa” (2024), Mohammed, a young Palestinian, is urgently seeking a taxi to take him through an Israeli checkpoint. When the driver, Farouk, learns that Mohammed has already failed to cross another checkpoint, trouble ensues.

​“ضو – Light,” (2023) is a documentary film exploring hope from within the oppressive grip of the Israeli occupation. The film takes us on a journey through Hebron under apartheid, and in this place “where all other elements are controlled and rationed, perhaps our light is the one thing that cannot be taken.”

​Director Ahmad Abu Monshar and SU Welfare & Liberation Officer Shada Abdalqader will be in conversation following the screening.

​Tickets are on a pay-what-you-can basis with all money raised going to the Palestinian Student Fundraiser. No one turned away for lack of funds.

​Refreshments provided, snacks and drinks welcome.
