From the river to the sea, Seed Songs for Palestine

Documentary films by Cecilia Vicuña, Alanis Obomsawin, Rana Nazzal Hamadeh, Marwa Arsanios, Ryley Williams and Nicolas Grandi & Lata Mani

.
The films in Seed Songs for Palestine engage themes of seed sovereignty and Indigenous resilience, highlighting the intrinsic connections between land, culture, and self-determination. Delving into the symbolic and practical importance of seeds, plant life, and relations with land as forms of resistance and continuity for Indigenous communities, the films interrogate the dynamics of freedom and survival in the face of environmental and colonial oppression, while also offering poignant reflections on both the fragility and resilience of existence. Collectively, they illuminate the vital role of seed sovereignty in asserting Indigenous rights and preserving cultural heritage. This collection of shorts presents a rich tapestry of voices and radical perspectives that have existed from time immemorial, considering the intersections of ecological stewardship and self-determination which continue to disperse across fertile lands.

*WE ARE RAISING FUNDS FOR “REVIVE GAZA’s FARMLAND”, a project that aims to rehabilitate Gaza’s agricultural sector and restore local food systems to combat famine, counter the blockade and build food sovereignty.
