A Question of Identity: Israeliness, Arabness, and the Middle East

A collaboration of the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute and the Jerusalem Cinematheque

A series of films and lectures dealing with the multicultural, binational, ethnic, and religious identity of Israeli society

In this series we will discuss the Palestinian-Arab identity and the identity of other ethnic or religious groups in Israel and we will explore the complex relations between these groups and the hegemonic Jewish society. We will also engage with the complex Israeli identity in its Middle Eastern context.
