“Galoot” Film Screening
Mon, 3/4 · 4:30 pm—6:30 pm · Arthur Lewis Auditorium, Robertson Hall
Ronit Yoeli-Tlalim, Goldsmiths, University of London and Institute for Advanced Study
Join the Program in Judaic Studies and Ronit Yoeli-Tlalim for a screening of Asher Tlalim’s 2003 personal documentary “Galoot” on Monday, March 4.
In “Galoot” (“Exile” in Hebrew, 2003) Moroccan-Israeli filmmaker Asher Tlalim finds himself in London. Away from home, he reflects on Israel/Palestine anew. An intimate saga told through compassionate portraits of his loved ones – his wife, his children, and Israeli, Palestinian and British friends in London. “Galoot” touches the seeds of the pain, and the heart of the tragedies that have been, and continue to play out on the political stage. An epic yet intimate journey that goes to Poland, Palestine, Morocco and England, “Galoot” considers the condition of exile, and asks: What are its heartbreaks? What are its insights?
Read a review of “Galoot” in Variety, and learn about Tlalim’s life in The Guardian.
Open to the public.
