  • FILMS on Palestine-Israel By
    PALESTINE-ISRAEL FILMS ON THE HISTORY of the PALESTINE-ISRAEL CONFLICT compiled with brief introduction and commentary by Rosalyn Baxandall A publication of the Palestine-Israel Working Group of Historians Against the War (HAW) December 2014 www.historiansagainstwar.org Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution – NonCommercial – ShareAlike 1 Introduction This compilation of films that relate to the Palestinian-Israeli struggle was made in July 2014. The films are many and the project is ongoing. Why film? Film is often an extraordinarily effective tool. I found that many students in my classes seemed more visually literate than print literate. Whenever I showed a film, they would remember the minute details, characters names and sub-plots. Films were accessible and immediate. Almost the whole class would participate and debates about the film’s meaning were lively. Film showings also improved attendance at teach-ins. At the Truro, Massachusetts, Library in July 2014, the film Voices Across the Divide was shown to the biggest audiences the library has ever had, even though the Wellfleet Library and several churches had refused to allow the film to be shown. Organizing is also important. When a film is controversial, as many in this pamphlet are, a thorough organizing effort including media coverage will augment the turnout for the film. Many Jewish and Palestinian groups list films in their resources. This pamphlet lists them alphabetically, and then by number under themes and categories; the main listings include summaries, to make the films more accessible and easier to use by activist and academic groups. 2 1. 5 Broken Cameras, 2012.

    • 35 YE 21 AR 0 S 2 BERKSHIRE JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL 2021 marks the 35th anniversary of the Berkshire Jewish Film Festival. The brainchild of Dr. Zev Raviv, the festival was led by Margie Metzger for 30 years. For the first 20 years, the films were shown on a 16mm projector at Knesset Israel in either the Sanctuary or the Social Hall. At the very beginning, a crowd of 25 was considered a success. Amy Abramovich helped run the concession where people could buy ice cream and other goodies. Because it was (and still is) a fundraiser for the Knesset Israel Hebrew School, it was important to involve the students, and each year a contest was held to design the program cover. The tide turned with the screening of the documenta- ry, The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg. There was stand- ing room only and it was then that public perception of the film festival changed. And the rest is history! Over these past 35 years, the BJFF has shown hundreds of films to thousands of people. Last year with the pan- demic forcing us to close the theater doors, we were able to continue as a virtual festival showing films online and engaging our audience members with Zoom talkbacks. This year we are celebrating with a full seven weeks of programming. Including the five short films being shown on August 9th, we are offering eighteen films in total. Our films range from political documentaries and biographies to comedies, heartfelt family stories, and animation. We couldn’t run this festival without our loyal volunteers.

    Rhetorics of Belonging Postcolonialism across the Disciplines 14 Bernard, Rhetorics of Belonging.indd 1 09/09/2013 11:17:03 Postcolonialism across the Disciplines Series Editors Graham Huggan, University of Leeds Andrew Thompson, University of Exeter Postcolonialism across the Disciplines showcases alternative directions for postcolonial studies. It is in part an attempt to counteract the dominance in colonial and postcolonial studies of one particular discipline – English literary/ cultural studies – and to make the case for a combination of disciplinary knowledges as the basis for contemporary postcolonial critique. Edited by leading scholars, the series aims to be a seminal contribution to the field, spanning the traditional range of disciplines represented in postcolonial studies but also those less acknowledged. It will also embrace new critical paradigms and examine the relationship between the transnational/cultural, the global and the postcolonial.

  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.

  • A Review of Some Middle Eastern Movies Written by Melissa Fiameni March 17, 2015
    [tabgroup layout="vertical"] A review of some Middle Eastern Movies written by Melissa Fiameni March 17, 2015 Today’s post comes to you from our unofficial but very active and growing “Allegra Lab Italy”, and is a partial and preliminary exploration of Middle Eastern cinema. With special focus on gender issues and the Palestinian social suffering, Melissa Fiameni reviews the following movies: The Syrian Bride, Lemon Tree, Volla Touma, The Time That Remains, Miral, Salt of this Sea. La Sposa Siriana (The Syrian Bride) 1 of 14 [tabgroup layout="vertical"] Regia: Eran Riklis, Suha Arraf Interpreti: Hiam Abbass, Makram J. Khoury, Clara Khoury, Ashraf Barhoum, Eyad Sheety Durata: 93 minuti Produzione: Israele, Francia, Georgia 2004 Genere: drammatico Il film è il risultato di una ricerca, svolta nell’arco di tre anni dal regista e da Suha Arraf, sceneggiatrice israelo-palestinese, tra le alture del Golan, territorio di confine tra Siria e Israele. In queste zone vivono i drusi, minoranza di arabi musulmani che, a causa della vicinanza, si sentono più legati alla Siria, per etnia e religione. E’ stato definito un film politico, ma allo stesso tempo è attenuato da un sottile 2 of 14 [tabgroup layout="vertical"] velo di amara ironia; la sposa siriana del titolo è Mona, una giovane donna che abita in un villaggio sulle alture del Golan, occupate da Israele fin dal 1967, e promessa in moglie ad un lontano cugino, celebre attore televisivo, che vive in Siria. Sin dalle scene iniziali, si può avvertire il senso di rassegnazione che pervade la giovane sposa: Mona, infatti, è consapevole del fatto che, una volta varcato il confine, non potrà più tornare in Israele per poter far visita alla propria famiglia, perché ormai diventata una “nuova” siriana.

  • Lemon Tree (Etz Limon)
    Lemon Tree (Etz Limon) 106 minutes, 2008, Israel/Germany/France Director, Eran Riklis Cast: Hiam Abbass, Doron Tavori, Ali Suliman Synopsis Salma, a Palestinian widow - living there for decades - has to stand up against her new neighbour, the Israeli Defence Minister, when he moves into his new house opposite her lemon grove, on the green line border between Israel and the West Bank. The Israeli security forces are quick to declare that Salma's trees pose a threat to the Ministers safety and issue orders to uproot them. Together with Ziad Daud, a young Palestinian lawyer, Salma goes all the way to the Israeli Supreme Court to try and save her trees. Her struggle raises the interest of Mira Navon, the Defense ministers wife, trapped in her new home and in an unhappy life. Despite their differences and the borders between them the two women develop an invisible bond, while forbidden ties grow stronger between Salma and Ziad. Salma’s legal and personal journey lead her deep into the complex, dark and sometimes funny chaos of the ongoing struggle in the Middle East Review, Tom Dawson Channel 4 Film Written and directed by Israeli filmmaker Eran Riklis, Lemon Tree explores the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through the story of a Palestinian widow seeking to protect her lemon grove. Although based on several real-life cases, Lemon Tree has the feel of an allegorical story. Writer-director Riklis has stated that he wanted to show "people trapped in a political deadlock", and Lemon Tree provides a plausible context for his characters' actions.
