IDENTITY of the SOUL
Palestine Universities tour 2011
Identity of the Soul narrated by Mahmoud Darwish was screened in early 2011 at eight universities in on the West Bank. Thanks to support from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, producer Martine Rød and co-ordinator Shereen Othman toured with the latest lightweight five screen setup and held 12 screenings for an audience of 3200.
Producer, Martine Rød, devised new way of presenting Id using lightweight back-projection screens, with Shereen Othman, Middle East Co-ordinator, setting up the tour locally. Shereen co-ordinated the partnership with Palestine’s Sharek Youth Forum, who organised significant media coverage through local agencies attracted by the cultural impact of the tour.
