Great reviews for The Village Under The Forest. I edited this film for Mark Kaplan & Heidi Grunebaum

It was the winner of the Audience Award for Best South African Film at Encounters Documentary Festival 2013.

MORE ABOUT THE FILM:
Unfolding as a personal meditation from the Jewish Diaspora, The Village Under The Forest explores the hidden remains of the destroyed Palestinian village of Lubya, which lies under a purposefully cultivated forest plantation called South Africa Forest.

Using the forest and the village ruins as metaphors, the documentary explores themes related to the erasure and persistence of memory and dares to imagine a future in which dignity, acknowledgement and co-habitation become shared possibilities in Israel/Palestine.

The Village Under The Forest is co-directed by Emmy-winner Mark Kaplan and scholar and poet Heidi Grunebaum.
