Monday, June 10, 7-9pm, Columbus Mennonite Church, 35 Oakland Park Ave.

Today’s program: a screening of “1913: Seeds of Conflict” (2014; 60 minutes)

Using film from 1913 and found in France a few years ago, the filmmaker examines a critical-yet-overlooked moment of transformation in Palestine, long before the Balfour Declaration and British Mandate period that usually is considered the matchstick for today’s ongoing struggles. It was a time when identities were fluid and few Arabs or Jews living there could imagine that the conflict that would engulf their region for the next century.
