A screening and discussion of PhD film انتي صامدة (She the Steadfast) with filmmaker Joy Stacey
Developed with Palestinian women living in the West Bank between 2016-2022, She the Steadfast stitches together five collaborative women’s theatre performances with patchwork clips of archival materials from Palestine, Palestinian diaspora and international media, presenting a layered history of gender and identities in occupied Palestine to up to 2022. This film has been amended post-submission to incorporate new archival materials generously shared by the UNRWA photo and film archive for Palestine refugees, Gaza. This screening was followed with a conversation with the filmmaker.
