Lyd

Directed by Sarah Ema Friedland and Rami Youniss

With Maisa Abd Elhadi, Eissa Fanous, Jihad Baba, Anan Tarteer and Mahassen Tarteer

A sci-fi documentary that follows the rise and fall of Lyd — 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.
