    BLOOD RELATION (KIRVAT DAM), Director Noa Ben Hagai, Israel, 2010, 75 Minutes, Documentary, Video. When filmmaker Noa Ben Hagai discovers her great-aunt Pnina’s letters, she learns that in the 1940s, 14-year-old Pnina married an Arab man. Curious, Noa engages her uncle, a retired Israeli intelligence colonel, to track down her relatives in the West Bank. As the families reunite, their divergent backgrounds strain their newfound relationship. Juxtaposing Pnina’s letters, read by actor Hiam Abbass, with interviews and reunions of this Jewish-Arab clan, BLOOD RELATION offers a fresh perspective on Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation and packs an emotional wallop. In Hebrew, Arabic with subtitles.
    preceded by:
    LOST PARADISE, Director Mihal Brezis, Oded Binnun, France, Israel, 2008, 10 Minutes, Fiction, Video. A man and a woman. A drafty, cheap hotel room. A tender yet passionate rendez-vous. An unusual birthday. Too soon, they are dressed. Was it all just a dream? A present-day Adam and Eve story. In English with subtitles.
