SUMMARY:Ghost Hunting: Palestine Film Series
DESCRIPTION:In order to confront the ghosts that haunt him\, Palestinian director Raed Andoni assembles an eclectic group of ex prisoners to recreate the Al-Moskobiya\, Israel’s main interrogation centre\, where he was himself jailed at age 18. Day after day\, these construction workers\, a blacksmith\, an architect\, an assistant director give shape to their memories of how they survived with grit and a sense of humor. As the walls of the cells rise\, the tongues and the emotions loosen. \nGhost Hunting is a 2017 Palestinian documentary film directed by Raed Andoni and starring Ramzi Maqdisi. It was awarded the best documentary at the Berlinale 2017. Also\, it was selected as the Palestinian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards.   The film runs 94 minutes and will be followed by discussion. \nDirections: The film will be shown in the Parish Hall of St. James Episcopal Church\, three blocks north of Porter Square in Cambridge. The location can be confusing. If you have not been to the venue before\, please review these directions and arrive a few minutes early to make sure you find us!  When you arrive\, call 617-466-9274 to get in the building.
