  • Back Door Channels: the Price of Peace (Documentary) by JAY WEISSBERG

Executive producers, Donald Tanselle, Matthew Tollin, Arick Wierson. Co-producer, Vered Kollek-Meisel. Directed, edited by Harry Hunkele. Written by Jonathan Hicks, Hunkele, Matthew Tollin, Arick Wierson. With: Gerry Rafshoon, William Quandt, Wolf Blitzer, Samuel Lewis, Leon Charney, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Andre Azoulay, Abdel Raouf El Reedy, Nabil El Araby, Mohammed Gohar, Henry Kissinger, Nabil Fahmy, Nabil Shaath, Avraham Tamir, Arye Naor, Yael Dayan, Patricia Kahane, Smadar Perry, David Landau, Dan Pattir, Shlomo Gazit, Hisham Khalil, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jimmy Carter, Stuart E. Eizenstat, Ahmed Maher, Meir Rosenne, Robert Lipshutz. The behind-the-scenes negotiations leading to the first Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel are revealed in all their riveting complexity in "Back Door Channels: The Price of Peace." PBS docu helmer Harry Hunkele gained unprecedented access to major players for an enthralling dissection of the unlikely path to the groundbreaking treaty, though he bites off more than he can chew and needs to rein in a tendency toward portentous explication, underscored by the incongruous music of Moby and Whale Hawk. Despite such annoyances, the docu deserves widespread exposure on PBS and satcasters. The Camp David Accords, signed in 1978, marked an unlikely moment when idealism briefly triumphed over obdurate stonewalling. Though never entirely satisfactory, the accords offered the hope of a brighter future in the Middle East; the failure of that initial promise in no way diminishes the achievement, whose memory can still bring a lump to the throat.

    Press Release Abu Dhabi Film Festival Opens Submissions for Second Session of SANAD Grants • SANAD Supports Arab Film-makers for Fifth Consecutive Year • Projects Receive up to US$20,000 for Development and up to US$60,000 for Post-production Abu Dhabi-UAE: June 3, 2014 – SANAD, the Abu Dhabi Film Festival's (ADFF) development and post-production fund, has called for entries for the second session of grants from across the Arab World. Submissions will be accepted until July 15, 2014 and successful grantees will be informed at the end of August ahead of the Abu Dhabi Film Festival in October 2014. ADFF, powered by twofour54, the commercial arm of Media Zone Authority – Abu Dhabi, offers Arab filmmakers with projects up to US$20,000 for development and up to US$60,000 for post-production. To date, the initiative has funded more than 100 projects as part of its mission to drive the development of a filmmaking hub in the UAE and wider Arab region. In the first session of 2014, approximately 75 percent of all the submissions came from film-makers making their first or second feature length projects. Ali Al Jabri, Director of ADFF, said: “SANAD seeks out bold and remarkable works from both new and established filmmakers either in the development or post-production stage. With intercultural dialogue, creativity and relationship building at its core, SANAD serves as a vehicle for identifying and supporting worthwhile projects while connecting filmmakers to potential partners, funding opportunities and audiences. “Our aim is to spotlight innovative film projects and provide year-round support for new and established filmmakers whose films are essential to the continuing growth and fascinating trends in Arab Cinema.

  • The Missing Picture1
    THE MISSING PICTURE1 WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY RITHY PANH Texte Christophe Bataille Produced by Catherine Dussart (CDP) and Bophana Production Rithy Panh Publisher Editions Grasset In Cambodia’s first Oscar-nominated film, Rithy Panh uses clay figures, archival footage and voice- over narration to tell a deeply personal story: “For many years, I have been looking for the missing picture: a photograph taken between 1975 and 1979 by the Khmer Rouge when they ruled over Cambodia...On its own, of course, an image cannot prove mass murder, but it gives us cause for thought, prompts us to meditate, to record History. I searched for it vainly in the archives, in old papers, in the country villages of Cambodia. Today I know: this image must be missing. I was not really looking for it; would it not be obscene and insignificant? So I created it. What I give you today is neither the picture nor the search for a unique image, but the picture of a quest: the quest that cinema allows.” ENGLISH COMMENTARY/VOICE OVER21 In the middle of life, childhood returns. The water is sweet, and bitter. 1 Courtesy of Editions Grasset and Catherine Dussart (CDP). The Missing Picture won the Un Certain Regard prize at the 2013 Cannes International Film Festival, the Grand Jury Award at the Cinemanila International Film Festival, and was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy awards (2014). In 2013 Rithy Panh was awarded Asian Filmmaker of the Year at the Busan International Film Festival. 2 English translation Letitia Farris Toussaint with the voice of Jean-Baptiste Phou.

  • THE SUBLIME in CONTEMPORARY ART and POLITICS: “The Post-9/11 Art of the Middle Eastern Diaspora in North America”
    THE SUBLIME IN CONTEMPORARY ART AND POLITICS: “The post-9/11 Art of the Middle Eastern Diaspora in North America” TALAT BALCA ARDA GUNEY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN POLITICAL SCIENCE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO April 2016 © Talat Balca Arda Guney, 2016 Abstract The Sublime in Contemporary Art and Politics: The post-9/11 Art of the Middle Eastern Diaspora in North America This dissertation takes ethnographic approach to researching art with an emphasis on the artistic practices of Middle Eastern diasporic artists in Canada and the USA. This dissertation moves from an account of aesthetic theory to the revival of public interest in art related to the Middle East and the artistic challenges faced by diasporic artists from the Middle East in presenting depictions of their own subjectivity. The Arab Spring, revolutions, bloody protests and riots, as well as the attacks of radical Islamist groups have crowded mainstream news coverage with images of terror and the paradigm of radical destruction. Such reflections of horrific scenery emulate the aesthetics of the sublime in the imagination of contemporary politics. The increasing body of art emphasizing the region of the Middle East has also regenerated this mainstream media focus on the Middle East, Arab lands, and the “Muslim landscape" with the same connotation of sublimity. I argue that these artistic reflections presume a particular Middle Eastern diasporic subjectivity that comes into visibility simultaneously as the translator and the witness, as well as the victim or perpetrator of this catastrophic imagery of the Middle East.
