Documentary Screening: Rafah Garden - one year of student protests
*ENGLISH BELOW*
I maj 2024 oprettede studerende på Københavns Universitet Rafah Garden, en lejr der udfordrede universitetets ledelse og krævede handling for Palæstina. Den blev et symbol på studenterledet modstand og ekkoede et globalt kald for retfærdighed.
Næsten et år senere er Studerende mod Besættelsen og Crisis Mirror stolte af at præsentere "Rafah Garden: En historie om akademisk viden og retfærdighed", en dokumentar-satirefilm om oplevelsen af lejren.
"Rafah Garden – En historie om akademisk viden og retfærdighed" instrueret af Arturo Fabbro.
Denne film handler ikke om Palæstina. Den handler ikke engang om det danske uddannelsessystem og de dybe forandringer, det har været udsat for i fortiden. Denne film handler ikke om verden efter Sovjetunionens fald, og den handler bestemt ikke om oprindelsen til den blodige konflikt mellem israelere og arabere. Denne film handler om os selv, hvordan vi er blevet desillusionerede over ideen om, at politik kan ændre vores verden, og hvordan vi kan komme videre derfra for at opnå reel retfærdighed.
Palæstina-Danmark, en fælles kamp (1973, 40’, dansk og engelske undertekster) Instrueret af Nils Vest (1943-2024).
Denne film skitserer en kort historie om den israelsk-palæstinensiske konflikt og viser, hvordan virkeligheden er langt fra balanceret. Denne film fungerer som et vidnesbyrd om en tradition for kamp og solidaritet med Palæstina.
________________________________
In May 2024, students at Copenhagen University set up Rafah Garden, an encampment that that challenged the University management and demanded action for Palestine. It became a symbol of student-led resistance, echoing a global call for justice.
Almost one year later, Students Against the Occupation and Crisis Mirror are proud to present "Rafah Garden: A story of Academic Knowledge and Justice”, a documentary-satire film on the experience of the encampment.
In the early Summer of 2024 students at University of Copenhagen decided to set up tents in solidarity with Palestine. The camp quickly grew, and occupied the space for one month.
The Italian filmmaker Arturo Fabbro captured and preserved the student movement for Palestine in Copenhagen as the camp went on.
We invite you to join us for the exclusive premiere and screening of Fabbro's 'Rafah Garden - A Story of Academic Knowledge and Justice'
The screening is presented by Crisis Mirror and Students Against the Occupation.
This film is not about Palestine. It is not even about the Danish higher education system and the deep changes it has been subject to in the past. This film is not about the world after the fall of the Soviet Union and it is most certainly not about the origin of the bloody conflict between Israelis and Arabs. This film is about ourselves, how we have become disillusioned with the idea that politics can change our world, and how we can move beyond that, to achieve real justice.
