An investigation of Israeli religious, right-wing extremists who are preparing for battle to stop Ariel Sharon's plan to dismantle settlements in Gaza and the West Bank. “They are dedicated to a country without Arabs and democracy. They see themselves at war with secular Israeli society. They believe they are acting out God's will”.
UntitledBeirut, July 2006. Israeli bombings strike the city. While Beirut is still on fire, the filmmaker starts a journey across his native land. The film is not a documentary - although the images are burningly real - but an essay. Using two complementary techniques, 16 mm film and HDV, the artist questions the deep foundations of the documentary genre. The eye of the cameras goes through a country in a state of terror, it records the immediate effects of war when it touches civilians.
UntitledIn this documentary, the late 19th century birth of Zionism - and its repercussions for Palestinians- is detailed with original source documents, Zionist leaders' quotations, rare archival footage, testimonies of witnesses and interviews with historians. All help to illustrate that the expulsion of the indigenous Arab population from Palestine was far from an accidental result of the 1948 war. This award-winning film shines a spotlight on the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by the Zionist movement.
UntitledA journey through Beirut's devastated neighbourhoods and some villages in southern Lebanon. The ordinary stories of ordinary people. Women, children and men face the challenge of remaking their lives in the midst of the devastation. 34 days of bombing by Israel have left indelible marks. Hundreds of families have lost their loved ones, a million displaced people return to their devastated houses. The Lebanese people wake from the nightmare full of rage and sorrow. Bombs are heavy, peace has no weight.
UntitledThis film takes you to the city of Ramallah during the 2nd-and not last invasion by Israeli troops in April 2002. It is what I saw, heard and experienced starting from neighborhood moving to the city destruction.
UntitledIa documentary about the root causes and present contradictions of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, a deeply personal odyssey of discovery, and a surreal work of art combining poetry, music, and images both beautiful and horrific. While its subtitle is "Theological Political Fragments," the film ends by tying its many elements together in ways the viewer may not expect.
At a time when the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has reached a stand still, the director has the courage to allow central figures of Matzpen to speak once again. Matzpen were an anti-Zionist group who were subject to abuse and social and political isolation in their native Israel for 35 years: because its members affirmed the legitimacy of the Palestinian claim to live in their own land.
UntitledAn 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.
UntitledThis critically acclaimed video exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over news reporting about the Middle East conflict. Combining American and British TV news clips with observations of analysts, journalists and political activists, Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land provides an historical overview, a striking media comparison, and an examination of factors that have distorted U.S. media coverage and, in turn, American public opinion.
