Seeing the “other” – Seeing yourself

Since 20 years FAB continues to create spaces for deep personal encounters between Palestinians, Israelis and Germans, to explore the interwoven historical narratives and present day triangle between the three national groups and the impact it has on our current reality day to day experience.

A Film about the encounter in FAB in 2024 by Gerburg Rohde-Dahl
Palestinians, Israelis and Germans meet during a 9-day seminar in Germany, four months after October 7, 2023 and during the ongoing war and destruction in Gaza. The film gives insight into the difficult and challenging process of a dialog between “enemies”. Through listening and empathy, personal suffering became tangible in the suffering of the “other” and the potential for dialog became clearer. This experience opened people’s eyes to the possibility of overcoming the spiral of violence and counter-violence and looking for alternative forms of coexistence based on mutual recognition.
If you would like to host a film screening of this film please contact Gerburg Rohde-Dahl.
