**This event is currently sold out. To join the waiting list, please email [email protected] **
The Other, a film that chronicles the efforts of Israeli and Palestinian peace-builders through seven years of conflict, will be shown November 19 at Falmouth’s Lunt Auditorium. The special screening will be presented jointly by the Camden Conference and the Maine Jewish Film Festival as part of the annual programming leading up to the February 2026 Camden Conference, Today’s Middle East: Power, Politics and Players. The evening begins at 5:30 PM with a reception hosted by OceanView at Falmouth, followed by the film screening at 6:00 PM and discussion with a planned appearance by Tim Wilson, Senior Advisor of Seeds of Peace.
The Other was filmed from 2017 to 2024 and includes perspectives on the October 7th attack. The filmmakers followed Israeli and Palestinian peacebuilders, activists, artists, former fighters, and bereaved parents working toward reconciliation. The documentary features extraordinary individuals including Ahmed Helou, a former Hamas member from Gaza who became a peace activist and has lost 60 family members in the current conflict, and Maoz Inon, a Jewish Israeli whose parents were murdered on October 7th but who continues advocating for peace.
This film, called “eye-opening” by The Forward, demonstrates that even amid generational trauma and conflict, transformation is possible through the work of those choosing the difficult path of peace and co-resistance.
