Israelism (co-host by Na'amod)
Israelism Free Virtual Screening (open to United Kingdom viewers)
We are grieving, but we have a responsibility to use our documentary film, Israelism to explore the context behind this awful moment we are witnessing.
We will be holding a Free Virtual Screening of Israelism, in partnership with Na'amod, on Thursday, November 16th, at 7pm GMT, followed by a Q&A with director Erin Axelman and former Israeli peace negotiator Daniel Levy. This screening is for a UK audience only, we hope to bring the film to a wider international audience soon. Limited space is available. Sign up here, and you’ll receive an email with a link to watch on Thursday.
Israelism explores the quickly changing American Jewish relationship with Israel, and features interviews with Simone Zimmerman, Peter Beinart, Sami Awad, Noura Erakat, Jeremy Ben-Ami, Abe Foxman, Rebecca Pierce, and many others.
Israelism premiered at Big Sky Film Festival in Feb 2023, and has won awards at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, Tallgrass Film Festival, Arizona International Film Festival, and Brooklyn Film Festival. It has been covered in the pages of Jacobin, the Forward, YNet, and the NYT.
