Film Screening: On the Side of the Road

Saturday, 5 p.m., Biology 19

Former West Bank settler and  director Lia Tarachansky looks at the Israelis’ collective amnesia of the fateful events of 1948, when the state of Israel was born and most of the Palestinians became refugees, in the film On the Side of the RoadShe follows the transformation of Israeli veterans trying uncover their denial of the war that changed the region forever. Tarachansky then turns the camera on herself and travels back to her settlement, where that historical erasure gave birth to a new generation, blind and isolated from its surroundings. Attempting to shed a light on the country’s biggest taboo, she is met with outrage and violence. Tarachansky will be present for a Q&A following the screening. Suggested donation $5; no one will be turned away. Contact Austin Weisgrau for directions if lost, or for more information (858/692-1514). Cosponsored by the Reed College Blue Heron Infoshop, the Jewish Voice for Peace, and Students United for Palestinian Equal Rights at Portland State University.
