              In 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.

              Beirut, 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.

              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”.

              Hay mish Eishi, features portraits of 8 Palestinian women from different social and religious backgrounds exploring how they live war and imagine peace in the profound depth of lived realities and felt pains. These are not unusual women, women leaders or exceptional women in the news media sense. They are media and theatre professionals, farming women, a cleaning woman, a boutique owner, a university student, a high school teenage girl, and housewives. These are the ordinary lives which make up the news and which the news makes invisible. They speak with passion, bewilderment, anger, rage and outrage?.they situate themselves in a life of dignity and productivity, where their lives and actions are not reduced to a bundle of fear.They speak of profound losses - of self and direction, livelihood, land, homes and family members. What they say so powerfully and directly through their hopes and wishes is that they want a life of meaning, of sharing, of giving, of routines and rituals, of loving and caring, of ordinariness with all its blessings and grace.They do not want the degrading, terrorizing drama of war

              The birthday of this video's fictional filmmaker, Avi Mograbi (also the name of the real director), is the same day as the 50th jubilee anniversary of the founding of Israel, a day observed by Palestinians as "Al Nakba" or the Catastrophe. Mograbi is hired first by Israeli television to film the events leading up to the jubilee and then by a Palestinian producer who wants him to film the ruins of Palestinian villages and towns in Israel. To make matters worse, he is enmeshed in a real estate deal with his neighbours and enraged buyers arguing over property boundaries. The collision of these three anniversaries, two film jobs and a dispute over property lines takes this fictional "documentary" into the depths of Israeli and Palestinian daily life and a shared 50-year history.

              Galoot (Exile in Hebrew) is an intimate saga that touches on the seeds of the pains and tragedies now transformed into the entrenched Palestinian/Israeli conflict. A temporary exile from his homeland allows an Israeli filmmaker to see the conflict with new and provocative eyes. Through his Palestinian and Israeli friends and through his and his wife's personal journeys, Galoot provides a reflective voyage through homes and deserted homelands in Israel, Palestine, Poland, Morocco and England.

              On December 26, 2003, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) deliberately shot at Gil Namati, a 21 year old Israeli protestor that demonstrated against the separation fence/wall. Gil was shot in both legs by two live bullets. The incident created a media storm and raised many question . What would have happened if the IDF didn't lie about the shooting of Gil Namati/ Would it have justified the actions taken by the security forces? Is there a difference between shooting a Jew and a non-Jew? This film is divided into three parts, the first part presents the investigation which was shown at the press conference and proved the IDF was lying about the reasons for the shooting, the second part criticizes the investigation itself and how the media reacted and portrayed the incident and the separation barrier, and the third part is a propaganda piece about the "danger" anarchism poses in Israel.

              On January 15, 2008, Israeli tanks destroyed the Peace Park, the only public park in the Gaza Strip. It had been a donation from the city of Barcelona to the residents of the Gaza Strip. The documentary gathers the testimonies of the neighbours hours after the attack. If they need to recover their public spaces, do we have to simply pay what Israel breaks?
