Camcorder Guerillas & Document Worldscreen: Palestine

For Cultural Purposes Only

In an age dominated by the moving image, what would it feel like to never see an image of the place that you came from? The Palestinian Film Archive, containing over 100 films showing the daily life and struggle of the Palestinian people, was lost in the Israeli siege of Beirut in 1982. Here interviewees describe from memory key moments from the history of Palestinian cinema. These scenes are drawn and animated.

Introduction To The End Of An Argument

With a combination of Hollywood, European and Israeli film footage, documentary, news coverage and 'live' reportage shot in the West Bank and Gaza strip, this film critiques representations of the Middle East, Arab culture, and the Palestinian people produced by the West with an oddly wry narrative that mimics the history of Middle East politics.
