SUMMARY:Film screening & discussion: Village under the Forest
DESCRIPTION:Village under the Forest (S. Africa\, 2013)\nWhen greening is
  an act of obliteration...\nAs a child in South Africa\, writer/narrator H
 eidi Grunebaum put her pennies in a JNF (Jewish National Fund) box to hel
 p build a forest in Israel. Twenty years later she revisits the forest she
  helped finance\, only to find that it was not a project for growth but ra
 ther one that would disguise deliberate obliteration of the Palestinian vi
 llage Lubya\, by Zionist forces in 1948.\n\nPrompted by a questioning of w
 hat it meant to be complicit with Apartheid\, the film tackles the questio
 n of responsibility in light of the erasure of the village.\n\n”Village 
 Under the Forest” is directed by South African filmmaker\, Mark Kaplan 
 and written and narrated by Cape Town based author Heidi Grunebaum. Grune
 baum had visited the “South Africa Forest” in Israel in the mid-1980s 
 but when she discovered the ruined Palestinian village of Lubya beneath So
 uth Africa Forest\, she says\, “it felt like the rug being pulled out fr
 om under my feet. I knew I’d been there before\, but I’d had absolutel
 y no understanding or ability to imagine then that my trees were erasing t
 he presence of {the Palestinian} people who had lived there and had been f
 orcibly removed {by Israel}…\n\nFollowed by a discussion – guest speak
 er to be announced.\n\nPlus delicious Middle-Eastern food by Alia!\n\nDoor
 s open 7pm\, event starts: 7.30pm. Free entry.\n\nat Passing Clouds\, 1 R
