Filmmaker Terje Carlsson will be on hand for two screenings of his documentary "Israel vs. Israel" sponsored by the Center for Nonviolence. The film is about Jewish peace activists who face skepticism and criticism from their fellow Israeli citizens. From the Center for Nonviolence:

A Rabbi, a soldier, a grandmother and an anarchist. Four very different Israelis share a common goal: to achieve peace in the Middle East and end the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territories. Undeterred, they promote a peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in order to improve the lives of Palestinians and their fellow countrymen alike. Using in depth interviews and dynamic footage to narrate their inspiring stories, Israel vs. Israel provides a unique perspective on the struggle to find a peaceful solution of this decades-long conflict.

Carlsson is a freelance journalist who has spent almost a decade covering the Middle East for the news media including Swedish Television and Radio. His first film, "Welcome to Hebron," was about a 17 year old teenager, Leila, living in Hebron in 2006 and 2007.

Screenings are noon Wednesday at the Center for Nonviolence, 1584 N. Van Ness Ave.; and 7 p.m. at the College Community Congregational Church, 5550 N. Fresno Street. Both are free.
