              Ibrahim, 24 years old, lives together with his family and friends trapped in a ghetto and under Israeli military occupation. The ghetto is known as Qalquilia. In reality, it is a city completely surrounded by a 9 meters concrete wall and a several kilometre-long wire fence where 40,000 Palestinians who are posed as a “security threat” by Israel are caged. Hassan lives also trapped in the cage. Qalquilia is the first caged city since the ghetto in Warsaw. A sad truth that the victim learns some of the worst practices from his killers...

              Moving from one hotel in Bethlehem to another in East Jerusalem, the filmmaker encounters a series of problems involving a ceiling, a video camera and the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Made over six years in the hotels of six different countries, Hotel Diaries is a series of video recordings which relate personal experiences to the current conflicts in the Middle East. In these works, which play upon chance and co-incidence, the hotel room is employed as a 'found' film set, where the architecture, furnishing and decoration become the means by which the filmmaker's small adventures are linked to major world events. Works in the series include Frozen War (Ireland, 2001), Museum Piece (Germany, 2004), Throwing Stones (Switzerland, 2004), B & B (England, 2005), Pyramids/Skunk (The Netherlands 2006/7), Dirty Pictures (Palestine 2007) and Six Years Later (Ireland 2007).

Shot between May 2001 and August 2002, Crossing Kalandia offers a unique perspective on recent events in Palestine.

              Close to God / Far from Home (somewhere in between pop and classical) is a portrait of a place and a state stuck in between, surrounded by barriers. Close to God / Far from Home is High Class Salon and it's owner; Palestine's loneliest lover Tony, hair-dresser and choir-boy. Mr Tony is a proud decendant of Italian 13th century cruisaders and a natural born germanophile. Mr Jaber is also the sexiest man in Bethlehem, forever faithful to Jesus Christ, Richard Clayderman and Kaiser Franz Joseph to whom he built a temple, an altar, a home.

              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?

              Five Palestinian, Israeli and international activists paint themselves blue and don pointy ears and tails that make them look like the characters in the film Avatar. Although their colonisers are from different origins, the Avatars, like the Palestinians, fight imperialism. 'The Avatars' presence in Bil'in today symbolizes united resistance to imperialism of all kinds.
