‘The Syrian Bride’ screening by GRALTA Foundation

The GRALTA Foundation continues its exploration of the Israel-Palestine conflict with an award-wining Israeli film, The Syrian Bride, in Bemis Hall on Wednesday Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 11 at 2 p.m. Set in Majdal Shams, the largest Druze village in the Golan Heights on the Israeli-Syrian border, the bride Mona is engaged to get married to Tallel, a TV comedian from Damascus. They have never met, and when Mona moves to Syria, she will lose her undefined nationality and will never be allowed to return home. This “woven” story deals with Mona’s feminist sister, the complex and strained relations within Mona’s family, and government bureaucracy. The film was nominated for seven Israel Film Academy awards and won the Montréal World Film Festival Grand Prix along with three other awards. There is no charge, and light refreshments will be served.

Fragrant wreaths and centerpieces are also for sale and made by volunteers the week prior to the fair. Psalm Soup will be available for lunch.
