SCREENING of "FORAGERS" & PANEL
Foragers depicts the dramas around the practice of foraging for wild edible plants in Palestine/Israel with wry humour and a meditative pace. Shot in the Golan Heights, the Galilee, and Jerusalem, it employs fiction, documentary, and archival footage to portray the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on these customs. By reframing the terms and constraints of preservation, the film raises questions around the politics of extinction, namely who determines what is made extinct and what gets to live on. Saturday, May 20 • 7:30–9pm Innis Town Hall University of Toronto 2 Sussex Avenue Toronto, ON This is a free event. Presented in partnership with the Provocations Ideas Festival and the Mosaic Institute. |
