Film Screening: Walled Citizen

As a part of the La La Lil Jidar: 20 Years Behind the Apartheid Wall programming, InLiquid invites you to join us on Thursday, October 5th, in the InLiquid Gallery for a screening of Walled Citizen, directed and produced by Palestinian filmmaker Sameer Qumsiyeh.

Walled Citizen documents Sameer Qumsiyeh as he attempts to explore the planet as a backpacker defying the restrictions of movement imposed on him as a holder of one of the world’s weakest ranking passports. Over the period of 3 years, Sameer Qumsiyeh travels with his personal camera from Palestine to Europe to the Canary Islands and Ecuador (featuring The Amazon) documenting his encounters with other freedom seekers, wanderers, refugees, immigrants, indigenous communities and nomads all of whom are facing the physical and non-physical walls that are erected between people in our modern time.

The InLiquid Gallery is located within the Crane Arts Building which is wheelchair accessible. There is limited accessible parking at the front of the building, and a ramp leading into the main entrance. The main building door is not automated. Two all-gender bathrooms with multiple stalls are available for use — one with urinals, one without, and both with 1–2 wheelchair-accessible stall(s).
