An inside view from the streets of the events that took place over one week in the Palestinian city of Nablus in August 2004. The camera takes us into the world of children who play at being soldiers in an army that has stones and motives as its only weapons. In the midst of Israeli gunshots and bombs, a dialog takes place with soldiers who sometimes seem more frightened than their own victims. The camera, with a group of international activists and paramedics, follows the soldiers as they search the city house by house. The international presence also acts as an "occupier-witness" of the zone of impunity in which Israel regularly acts.

NEGATIVLAND OUR FAVORITE THINGS.

Presentació / visionat a càrrec de Mark Hosler membre fundador de Negativland. Realitzada per Negativland en col·laboració amb diversos filmmakers experimentals.

OUR FAVORITE THINGS (NEGATIVLAND: PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE o NEGATIVLAND: CREATIVE MITJANA RESISTANCE) és una presentació de la sèrie de vídeos en la qual Negativland mostra el seu afecte pels sons oposats i l'ús irònic i crític de la cultura de masses bolcada en el món del cinema experimental. Durant els últims 22 anys Negativland ha publicat 19CDs i dos llibres: "Fair Usi: The Story Of The Letter O And The Numeral 2" i "Deathsentences Of The Polished And Structurally Weak" i han estat processats dues vegades per infracció de copyright. S'han convertit en artistes/activistes francs i coherents (particularment en el context de la propietat intel·lectual) proporcionant un soundtrack al creixent moviment global contra el poder corporatiu en les nostres vides.

...niland 1 is built on the separating line of both water and air, the center of which is the man in adaptation by a rise of the sea level. ...niland 1 builds new landscapes on the sea between water and tornades currents, a fight for air being interrupted by a mere rise of the water level, allowing the shining of the water surface line ...niland 1 tells unreasonably through pictures, lets us imagine events, persists on searching and remains uncertain.

Frederic never asked his parents anything on what happened, neither did he talk about it to his children. On January 31st 2007, almost seventy years after, a commemorative act took place, and on this purpose, he was asked to write about this past event. That 's when we meet him, in the very moment that, as his daughter says, Frederic is looking for his memories...

"A Vilassar de Dalt, petit poble del Maresme, un jove s'endinsa en el fosc passat de la Guerra Civil. A través de la memòria dels seus veïns, descobreix un ventall d'històries d'una generació que visqué, de maneres molt diverses, una mateixa guerra. El documental treu a la llum records de la Guerra Civil que esdevenen claus per a les noves generacions que no volen perdre la lliçó de la història. Després d'una gran guerra ve un gran silenci. Una llarga nit al final de la qual podrem trobar la fosca ignorància o la claredat del saber."
