German Backed Cinema Jenin Project Prepares For Launch

JENIN, WEST BANK - MARCH 10: Palestinian youth congregate in front of the the city's old movie theatre which is being renovated by the Cinema Jenin project on March 10, 2010 in Jenin, West Bank. Award-winning German director Marcus Vetter, who co-founded the Cinema Jenin project, has dedicated himself to renovating the building twenty-two years after it was closed during the first Palestinian intifada. With funding from the German government, the Roger Waters foundation and other sponsors, and with a team of local Palestinians and foreign volunteers, they are turning the run-down cinema into a modern cinematheque.
