Las Colibries Garden – 219 34th St Sunset Park, Brooklyn
$10 NOTAFLOF. Gather for a fundraiser screening of the short film ‘In Defense of the Rocket’ (dir. Martin Ginestie, 2015, 5 min) followed by ‘Paradise Now’ (dir. Hany Abu-Assad, 2005, 90 min). ‘In Defense of the Rocket’ brings together footage from more than 20 years of Palestinian political life with the ambition to uplift armed resistance and reframe the Western debate around the use of violence. ‘Paradise Now’ follows two Palestinian childhood friends as they prepare to execute an attack on Tel AViv, ostensibly in the final hours of their lives.
