We're thrilled to announce that System Ali, an incredible hip-hop group comprised of 10 Palestinian and Israeli artists, will be performing at our world premiere of "The Other" at the Boston International Film Festival! Joining us are two of their talented members, Neta and Samira, who will also be featured on our panel alongside director Joy Sela. Their music is the result of a charged and uncompromising encounter between identities, personal stories, and sources of inspiration.

The band's activity extends beyond music, as they have grown an organization, Beit System Ali, that has expanded over the past 15 years into an extraordinary cultural engine for community development. Beit System Ali operates unique educational programs that hold deep encounters, courageous multicultural discourse, and a model for a shared society between communities of different cultures. Their diverse activities have a common and clear goal - raising awareness of burning social issues such as segregation, racism, gender violence, police violence and more through music, performing arts, master classes, workshops and accompanying young artists.

Filmed from 2017-2023, The Other focuses on Israeli & Palestinian peace-builders, anti-occupation activists, artists, academics, ex-fighters, bereaved parents, and many more living the reality on the ground. Whether in non-violent co-resistance, peace-building, or shared community, we witness those who have only known each other through hate, bloodshed, inequality, and war, transcend beyond narratives & belief systems. They teach us that unlearning deep-seated conditioning is possible and that we can liberate ourselves from generational trauma, hatred and fear—no matter how ingrained and legitimate those fears are.

Talk moderated by our Creative Director Joy Sela with Jonathan Mannion, Ashley Owens & Jamel E Robinson | Repost Joy Sela:

Last night we talked about finding love within ourselves and maintaining it in the face of challenge to promote and uphold unity. Thank you to Ashley, Jonathan, & Jamel for sharing your unique and powerful points of view. Thank you to the audience for creating this experience with us. Thank you for being open and having a conversation with us that isn’t always comfortable but is rewarding. Through sharing these ideas with each other, I was reminded that we’re all human. We all have past conditioning we need to unlearn and we all have faced challenging experiences we’ve had to overcome to continue to love ourselves and our fellow human. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for listening, sharing, and being open. I love you.
