The catalogue presents up-to-date information about the feature and documentary films produced in Israel over the past twelve months. The information has been gathered by the staff of the Jerusalem Film Center's resource center and with the cooperation of film funds, producers, and filmmakers throughout Israel. This annual service gives a broad picture of what is happening in Israel in the field of feature and documentary cinema. As you will see for yourself, it displays the fascinating and high-quality array of Israeli cinema in full creative bloom. Yours, Lia van Leer Yigal Molad-Hayo Founder and President Acting director DEAR FILMMAKERS, BUYERS, AND DISTRIBUTERS, The Israeli film industry has known an unprecedented burst of creativity in the last decade. The Rabinovich Foundation for the Arts, in association with the Recanati Foundation, has had the privilege of being a part of these wondrous years, supporting a large part of the Israeli full-length feature films, documentaries, TV dramas, student graduation films, and experimental films. Together, the two foundations have been operating the “Cinema Project” since 1988, within the framework of the Rabinovich Foundation and under its management. The project is independently funded and supported by the Cultural Administration at the Israeli Ministry of Culture and Sport and the Israeli Council for Cinema. We believe this catalogue is a vital and necessary tool for aiding the distribution of the great variety of Israeli films produced here in the last year. We recommend it to every filmmaker, buyer, distributer, and enthusiast as a means for searching for Israeli films that are relevant to them, and also as a way of getting an overall impression of the dynamic Israeli film industry. Kind regards, Giora Einy Director General The Rabinovich Foundation for the Arts DEAR FRIENDS, The Israel Film Center at The JCC in Manhattan is a proud supporter of the Israeli film industry. Both the quality and the quantity of Israeli films produced in recent years require strategic systems and tools to best bring forth Israeli films to the world. The goal of the Israel Film Center and Online Database is to better connect North American industry members and audiences to Israeli cinema and film industry. Through our website (www.IsraelFilmCenter.org) and other tools, we aim to serve the American community as well as Israeli filmmakers, keeping the international film community both updated and at the forefront of the leading cinematic achievements coming out of this region. We salute the Israeli filmmakers and invite industry members and film presenters to visit www.IsraelFilmCenter.org to learn more about films listed in this directory and others. Yours, Isaac Zablocki Israel Film Center & Online Database www.IsraelFilmCenter.org DEAR FRIENDS, The Cultural and Scientific Affairs Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is proud to be a partner, for the third year in a row, in the publication of the annual catalogue of Israeli cinema 2010–2011 by the Jerusalem Cinematheque and the Jerusalem International Film Festival. This catalogue of modest dimensions contains all necessary information about the Israeli films in their various genres that were produced during the past year, in addition to vital information about the key elements of the Israeli cinema scene. The catalogue is user-friendly for readers both in Israel and abroad. We at the Foreign Ministry found the two previous catalogues to be efficient and useful tools and very helpful. We expect this current catalogue, which will be sent to Israel’s diplomatic missions abroad, to be no less promising. Entrusted with disseminating Israel’s culture around the world, we consider the catalogue to be a vital tool in our activities to further that goal. We congratulate the Jerusalem Cinematheque for its initiative and for its successful production, and we hope that this important catalogue will grow in content and in scope from year to year, as will its readership.

  • Zochrot Annual Report 2019 January 2020
    Zochrot Annual Report 2019 January 2020 1 Opening As can be clearly shown in the report below, Zochrot activity and public outreach had increased significantly in 2019. During the time of the report, January 2019 – December 2019 we had carried out more than 60 different activities in public sphere including tours to destroyed Palestinian localities, lectures, symposiums, workshops, exhibition, educational courses, film festival, direct actions and more, all designed to make the Nakba present in public spaces, to resist the ongoing Nakba, and to oppose the mechanisms of denial and erasure. We continue to call upon Israelis to acknowledge their responsibility for the Nakba and to uphold justice by supporting Palestinian return. Over 2,400 people participated in our activities over the past year and took an active part in discussion about the Nakba and return. This year we also reached almost 100,000 visitors on our websites, which continues to be a leading resource to many people all over the world about the Nakba and the Return. About Zochrot Zochrot ("remembering" in Hebrew) is a grassroots NGO working since 2002 in Palestine-Israel to promote acknowledgement of and accountability for the ongoing injustices of the Nakba, the Palestinian catastrophe of 1948. Zochrot works towards the reconceptualization of the right of return as the imperative redress of the Nakba and a chance for a better life for all the country's inhabitants. Zochrot is the first and major Israeli nonprofit organization and growing movement devoted to the commemoration of the Nakba and for advocating for Palestinian return, first and foremost among the Jewish Israeli majority in Israel.

  • Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution
    Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution Introduction In his poem, The Second Coming (1919), William Butler Yeats captured the moment we are now experiencing: Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. As we see the deterioration of the institutions created and fostered after the Second World War to create a climate in which peace and prosperity could flourish in Europe and beyond, it is important to understand the role played by diplomacy in securing the stability and strengthening the shared values of freedom and democracy that have marked this era for the nations of the world. It is most instructive to read the Inaugural Address of President John F. Kennedy, in which he encouraged Americans not only to do good things for their own country, but to do good things in the world. The creation of the Peace Corps is an example of the kind of spirit that put young American volunteers into some of the poorest nations in an effort to improve the standard of living for people around the globe. We knew we were leaders; we knew that we had many political and economic and social advantages. There was an impetus to share this wealth. Generosity, not greed, was the motivation of that generation. Of course, this did not begin with Kennedy. It was preceded by the Marshall Plan, one of the only times in history that the conqueror decided to rebuild the country of the vanquished foe.

  • 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.

The Festival features a different themed program each day. Select nights are dedicated to the Moroccan, Iraqi, Greek, and Yemenite Jewish communities. For the first time at the Festival, the untold stories of how Sephardic Jews from Algeria, Tunisia, and Greece suffered during the Holocaust are shared during a full day of films, “Sephardim in the Shoah” (Sunday, April 2). “From Ethiopia to Israel” (Tuesday, April 4) explores the challenges of emigration. “An Evening of Empowering Sephardi Women” (Monday, April 3) showcases three films that explore women’s experiences and highlight differences in gender relations and expectations between Ashkenazi and Sephardi communities. ASF’s Young Leadership Board is hosting “Love, Sephardi Style” (Tuesday, April 4) an evening of short films that explore modern romance and relationships from several Sephardi perspectives, including Israeli and Persian. An interactive discussion will follow with an award-winning Jewish Iranian-American filmmaker. “For this important NYSJFF 20th Anniversary Edition, we are proud to present poignant and powerful programs that speak to the issues of our time and all time,” said Sara Nodjoumi, Artistic Director of the New York Sephardic Jewish Film Festival.

Our annual Holiday Social on December 5 at Cinque Terre in the Old Port, was combined with a 10th anniversary party – an event to mark the milestone in the Sister City relationship between Portland, Maine and Mytilene, Lesvos, Greece. Preceding this event, letters of congratulations were exchanged (with the help of HSoM member Nicos Provatas in Mytilene) between Mayor Michael Brennan and the Mayor of Mytilene, Dimitrios Vounatsos, who also sent gifts of books and copies of Mytilene City medallions to Mayor Brennan and HSoM president, Mary Snell. For the anniversary social we were honored to have as our special guests Mayor Brennan, and Portland City Council members Nick Mavodones and Ed Suslovic, as well as Neale Duffett, a representative of The Archangel Committee for our Russian Sister City. Sister City relationships are an important way for ordinary citizens of a city to come in contact with the people of another country and, through continual engagement, learn about their society, their politics, economics and culture. These kinds of friend- Mayor Brennan reads the letter from ships, we believe, promote world understanding and thus Mayor Vounatsos as Nick Mavodones, peace on a most basic level. and Ed Suslovic listen Our growing relationship with Mytilene was formal- ized in 2003 when, on October 17, a reception for a delegation from Mytilene was held in the State of Maine Room of Portland City Hall.
