2022 Planet in Focus International Film Festival: “Eulogy for the Dead Sea”
SCREENING
As part of 2022 Planet in Focus International Film Festival, join us on Saturday, October 15th at 7pm for a screening of “Eulogy for the Dead Sea” featuring the live Eco-Hero Presentation with Manvi Bhalla at the Paradise Theatre.
Eulogy for the Dead Sea is a poetic experimental documentary chronicling the disappearance of the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea borders Jordan, Palestine, and Israel. It constitutes the lowest place on earth and is known for its therapeutic high-sodium and mineral-rich waters. Despite its name, the Dead Sea basin is a host to many wildlife species and the Jordan Valley in which it is situated enjoys a warm climate and fertile soil. Unfortunately, due to the diversion of water from the Jordan River and mass mineral extraction through evaporation pools, the Dead Sea’s water reduction currently measures at 1.3m annually. Through sites of existing and abandoned infrastructure, marking its current and former shores, the film seeks to unify inter-national conflicts through the lens of ecology.
