Shrewsbury Film - Extras

"Roll on Wednesday for the next offering from my favourite place to be"
Maggie Mitchell

Within our first 12 months, it became increasingly clear that there was a demand for more than a main season. We listened and put on a couple of mini seasons, which proved there was an appetite for more.

Thanks to a cash injection from Film Hub North West Central, we were able to put on more films than ever before and to take more risks.

Today, we are supported by the Film Hub Midlands. Through funds from the National Lottery, Film Hub Midlands supports people to watch, show and make films in the Midlands.

We call these our Extras and include all our mini-seasons, films for festivals as well as one-off films. Sometimes, these films are loosely chosen around a theme, sometimes they are just chosen for being good, or meriting an outing on the big screen.

These films are not part of our main season membership.

Israelism

NA | USA | 2023 | English | 84 mins

Director: Erin Axelman & Sam Eilertsen
In conjunction with Shropshire Friends of Palestine, we are screening Israelism which follows two young American Jews whose journeys to Israel spark profound internal conflicts. Raised to be unwavering supporters of Israel, they encounter the harsh realities of the occupation and apartheid-like conditions in Palestine. Their awakening leads them into the heart of a generational struggle over Jewish identity, belonging, and justice. This powerful documentary examines the shifting perspectives within the Jewish diaspora, highlighting voices that challenge mainstream narratives. Through deeply personal storytelling and political insight, Israelism questions what it means to be both Jewish and critical of Israel, offering a poignant look at truth, identity, and resistance.
