Further info on Lyd
Directed by Rami Younis and Sarah Ema Friedland, Lyd is a sci-fi documentary that follows the rise and fall of a 5,000-year-old metropolis that was once a bustling Palestinian town until it was conquered when the State of Israel was established in 1948. As the film unfolds, a chorus of characters creates a tapestry of the Palestinian experience of this city and the trauma left by the massacre and expulsion. More info on the film is here.
