Finding Another Way: Storytelling Through Trauma
How does art help us hold what words can't? Join VIJFF for a live online conversation with Stephen Apkon — filmmaker behind There Is Another Way, which follows former Israeli and Palestinian combatants turned peacebuilders — in conversation with acclaimed writer and playwright Mark Leiren-Young. Together they explore how storytelling helps individuals and communities carry trauma without being defined by it, drawing on Apkon's work in conflict and reconciliation and Leiren-Young's own plays confronting Jewish identity and antisemitism.
Free, but registration is required. We encourage attendees to prepare by watching VIJFF's October 7th online film offerings — Always Together, Falling Up, and There Is Another Way — beforehand: https://watch.eventive.org/vijff2026
