DESCRIPTION:Dir. Avi Mograbi. Israel/France. 2016. 84 mins. In Hebrew\, Tig
 rigna\, Arabic and English with English subtitles. In the middle of the Ne
 gev Desert in Israel\, African asylum seekers languish indefinitely in a d
 etention facility. With the help of theater director Chen Alon and the act
 ive participation of filmmaker Avi Mograbi\, they begin to use Theater of 
 the Oppressed techniques to express their experiences\, thoughts\, and fru
 strations. What leads men and women to leave everything behind and go towa
 rds the unknown? Why does Israel\, land of the refugees\, refuse to accept
  people exiled by war\, genocide and persecution? And can these artists—an
 d by extension the audience—put themselves in the refugee’s shoes? Mograbi
 ’s reflective\, reflexive\, and surprisingly exhilarating documentary is n
 ot just a call for empathy and understanding\, but an unapologetic act of 
 the same. Preceded by A Short Family Film (Igor Bezinovic\, 2016\, 20 mins
 ) Marica is a voluble older woman eager to open her home and share her lif
 e with a visiting documentary crew. But it does not take long for her stor
 y to open up into some surprising territory\, including a self-reenacted a
 ltercation involving her daughter-in-law and a kitchen knife. Staring out 
 through his sober yet stylized frames\, Croatian director Igor Bezinovic r
 ides the line between hilarity and mortal unease. \n\n\nTickets: $15 (Free
