The first family is of Jewish Settlers (Youth Top Hill), the second of Palestinian shepherds. The two fami- lies live near to one another, on two sides of a desert valley. They share simi- lar motivations. The Palestinian and The Jewish men have decided to bring their families in the desert to live from their flocks. The films observe at the two families, each one separately, how they maintain their life at the desert that both sides believe belong to them and their flocks is the way to draw the border. Avidan Ofir, the Jewish father, claims they have come to stay for ever and maintains the Arabs are not connected to this, and lack spirituality. This is why the Jews will win, he claims, but in the end finds himself confessing he is no longer belongs there. Omar Abu Haram the Palestinian father does not say anything. He demands that his two wives and children work and live no matter how difficult or dan- gerous it is. The family reveals a tremendous hurt, but they remain together.

Diary of Brazilian - 2013 - Writer, Actor and Cinematographer An experimental documentary Film and Stage performance that tells 100 years of the Jewish males descendants of the Faingulernt family. It is the im- pressionistic journey of the director following the foot steps of his ancestors in Israel, Brazil and Ukraine after his father died in Israel at the kibbutz he helped to pioneer. Performed at the Performing Arts Festival with Israel Festival in Jerusalem, Cinema South Film Festival - Fringe War Matador - 2011 - Producer, Director, and Cinematographer A journal made on the border of Gaza during the winter of 2009 that portrays an intimate portrait of Israel in a time of crisis. It examines the weird phenom- enon of "war tourism” that flourished during that war on the Sderot-Gaza border, when people from all over the country swarmed in to observe the shelling of Gaza .We see the fissures in Israeli society that tie military strength with Messianic belief. War ecstasy and the euphoria of power accom- panying it are likened to the spectacle of the Corrida - the arena of a cruel struggle for life or death.

The trave- logue sketches an intimate portrait of a vulnerable border area, introducing a profile of Israel in a time of crisis. A film is projected on three different screens that divide the action into something like bull fight arena, as the audi- ence observes the rising smoke over Gaza. Petach Tikva Museum and Tel Aviv University's gallery, Matador of Love - 2006 - Producer, Director and cinematographer Film and live dance collide on stage, with actor Alon Aboutbul and dancer Anat Shamgar. It portrays the journey of a woman in the Land of Israel, as she un- dergoes an intense complicated relationship with a man whom she desperately needs. The performance is a metaphor for the vicious and inescapable circle of the relations between the matador and the bull in the Spanish Corrida.

  • PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES of the CREATIVE PROCESS Ways of Learning and Teaching Film and Audiovisual Art
    PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS Ways of learning and teaching film and audiovisual art Alain Bergala revolutionized how the art of filmmaking is taught through the concept of a "pedagogy of the creative process". Considering the widespread practice of what had been called "audiovisual literacy", that is, the acquisition of knowledge on the use of audiovisual language, Bergala advocated for a more active form of teaching, one in which viewers would have to return to that time prior to the images and the sounds, when all possibilities were still open. The paradigm shift introduced the notion that the viewer's motivation, emotion and desire could be a driving force behind learning and the possibility that viewers might potentially become creators. The seminar "Pedagogy of the creative process" aims to serve as a space for meeting and reflecting on how film and audiovisual art is taught, the starting point for which will be covered in the first session: the paradigm shift first introduced by Bergala for teaching cinema in schools. The second session will be a reflection on the role of film schools and universities in teaching cinema, from the point of view of theory and practice. In this regard, the recently inaugurated school, the Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola, marks a pivotal moment in its break with prototypical schools that typically have taken a 20th century approach to film, one being called into question today. Any reflection on teaching the creative process would hardly be complete without a consideration of the interconnections that teaching audiovisuals has made with the social sciences and critical teaching methods.

    PROGRAM ABSTRACTS FOR THE 15TH TRIENNIAL SYMPOSIUM ON AFRICAN ART Africa and Its Diasporas in the Market Place: Cultural Resources and the Global Economy The core theme of the 2011 ACASA symposium, proposed by Pamela Allara, examines the current status of Africa’s cultural resources and the influence—for good or ill—of market forces both inside and outside the continent. As nation states decline in influence and power, and corporations, private patrons and foundations increasingly determine the kinds of cultural production that will be supported, how is African art being reinterpreted and by whom? Are artists and scholars able to successfully articulate their own intellectual and cultural values in this climate? Is there anything we can do to address the situation? WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2O11, MUSEUM PROGRAM All Museum Program panels are in the Lenart Auditorium, Fowler Museum at UCLA Welcoming Remarks (8:30). Jean Borgatti, Steven Nelson, and Marla C. Berns PANEL I (8:45–10:45) Contemporary Art Sans Frontières. Chairs: Barbara Thompson, Stanford University, and Gemma Rodrigues, Fowler Museum at UCLA Contemporary African art is a phenomenon that transcends and complicates traditional curatorial categories and disciplinary boundaries. These overlaps have at times excluded contemporary African art from exhibitions and collections and, at other times, transformed its research and display into a contested terrain. At a moment when many museums with so‐called ethnographic collections are expanding their chronological reach by teasing out connections between traditional and contemporary artistic production, many museums of Euro‐American contemporary art are extending their geographic reach by globalizing their curatorial vision.

Cinema Novo: Brasil. the New Cinema of Brazil, begins October 1. and continues through I October 17th. Nine feature-length films;, the work of eight young directors; who represent the New Wave of Brazil^ will be shown along with a selection of short subjects. Adrienne Mancia, Assistant Curator, Department of Film, assembled the program. In the past seven years, the Brazilians have earned i+0 international awards. In Berlin, Genoa and Moscow. Brazilian film retrospectives have been held in acknowledgement of the vigorous Cinema Novo that has taken root in that country. Cinema Novo of Brazil has had a stormy history. The first stirring began in the early 50*8 with the discontent of young filmmakers who objected to imitative Hollywood musical comedies, known as "chanchadas," which dominated traditional Brazilian cinema. This protest found a response araong young film critics who were inspired by Italian neo- realism and other foreign influences to demand a cinema indigenous to Brazil. A bandful of young directors were determined to discover a cinematic language that would reflect the nation's social and human problems. The leading exponent of Cinema Novo, Glauber Rocha, in his late twenties, stated the commitLment of Brazil's youthful cineastes when he wrote: "In our society everything is still I to be done: opening roads through the forest, populating the desert, educating the masses, harnessing the rivers.

  • Export Statt Exodus
    Bild nur in Printausgabe verfügbar Export statt Exodus Winfried Schumacher | Kleines Land mit großer Kultur: Israels Künstler, Autoren und Filmemacher sind weltweit gefragt. Mit Verve, Chuzpe und Selbst ironie widmen sie sich dem komplizierten Leben in einem von Krieg, Terror und politischen Grabenkämpfen gebeutelten Land. Die Schroffheit und Verletzlichkeit ihrer Alltagshelden kommt auch im Ausland an. Sie feilen an ihren Fingernägeln, kochen Kaffee für den Vorgesetzten, schred- dern nie gelesene Akten und räumen Minenfelder höchstens auf Minesweeper. Die Uniformen der Soldatinnen sitzen schlecht und ihre Knarren sind nichts als lästige Accessoires. Was die israelische Regisseurin Talya Lavie in ihrem Filmdebüt „Zero Motivation“ zeigt, ist gähnende Langeweile in einer Militär- basis. Und doch sorgte die schwarze Komödie in Israel für einen der größten Kinoerfolge der vergangenen Jahre. Keine Kassam-Raketen, keine Konfliktanalysen und schon gar keine Kriegshelden sind in „Zero Motivation“ zu sehen. Mit bösem Witz und mes- serscharfem Blick auf den öden Alltag im Lager beobachtet Lavie das Leben einer Gruppe von Soldatinnen in der Negev-Wüste. Sie zählen die Tage bis 58 IP Länderporträt • 2 / 2016 Export statt Exodus zum Ende ihres Militärdiensts und träumen vom Partyleben in Tel Aviv. Der glorreiche Einsatz für das Land der Väter bedeutet für sie nur das Absitzen von Dienstanweisungen lächerlicher Rangoberer. Wer kein Hebräisch spricht und nie eine israelische Militärbasis von innen gesehen hat – erst recht, wer noch nie in Israel war – wird den Humor eines großen Teiles der Dialoge auch mit englischen Untertiteln nicht ganz verste- hen. Zu vielschichtig und kulturspezifisch ist der Schlagabtausch. Dennoch wurde der Film auf dem Tribeca Film Festival als bester Film ausgezeichnet und erregte das Interesse von BBC America.

For more than a year now, Khleifi and Sivan have dedicated themselves to producing what they consider a cinematic act of faith: a film co-directed by a Palestinian and by an Israeli. In the summer of 2002, for two long months, they travelled together from the south to the north of their country of birth, traced their trajectory on a map and called it Route 181. This virtual line follows the borders outlined in Resolution 181, which was adopted by the United Nations on November 29th 1947 to partition Palestine into two states. As they travel along this route, they meet women and men, Israeli and Palestinian, young and old, civilians and soldiers, filming them in their everyday lives. Each of these characters has their own way of evoking the frontiers that separate them from their neighbours: concrete, barbed-wire, cynicism, humour, indifference, suspicion, aggression…Frontiers have been built on the hills and in the plains, on mountains and in valleys but above all inside the minds and souls of these two peoples and in the collective unconscious of both societies.

    List of films considered the best From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Films considered the greatest ever) Page semi-protected This list needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be chall enged and removed. (November 2008) While there is no general agreement upon the greatest film, many publications an d organizations have tried to determine the films considered the best. Each film listed here has been mentioned in a notable survey, whether a popular poll, or a poll among film reviewers. Many of these sources focus on American films or we re polls of English-speaking film-goers, but those considered the greatest withi n their respective countries are also included here. Many films are widely consi dered among the best ever made, whether they appear at number one on each list o r not. For example, many believe that Orson Welles' Citizen Kane is the best mov ie ever made, and it appears as #1 on AFI's Best Movies list, whereas The Shawsh ank Redemption is #1 on the IMDB Top 250, whilst Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is #1 on the Empire magazine's Top 301 List. None of the surveys that produced these citations should be viewed as a scientif ic measure of the film-watching world. Each may suffer the effects of vote stack ing or skewed demographics. Internet-based surveys have a self-selected audience of unknown participants. The methodology of some surveys may be questionable. S ometimes (as in the case of the American Film Institute) voters were asked to se lect films from a limited list of entries.

The fragile equilibrium of the new life Rivka and Moishe have forged for themselves and their sons, Hilik and Yonatan, in the new state of Israel begins to waver when Moishe convinces himself that Yankele, his son from his first marriage, didn't actually die in Auschwitz, but rather miraculously escaped to America, where he grew to adulthood and became an advisor to President John Kennedy. Moishe never really accepted the fact that he alone survived the Holocaust, and after seeing “Jack Waldman’s” picture in the newspaper, he finds himself sinking into his past. When Moishe writes a letter to Waldman, Hilik takes matters into his own hands.

  • Communication 140 Introduction to Film Studies
    COMMUNICATION 140 INTRODUCTION TO FILM STUDIES Waltz With Bashir [Vals Im Bashir] (2008) Written and directed by Ari Folman. Edited by Nili Feller. Music by Max Richter. With the voicework of Ari Folman, Ori Sivan, Ronny Dayag, Shmuel Frenkel, Zahava Solomon, Ron Ben-Yishai, and Dror Harazi. Ari Folman’s broodingly original Waltz With Bashir—one of the highlights of the last New York Film Festival—is a documentary that seems only possible, not to mention bearable, as an animated feature. Folman, whose magic realist youth film Saint Clara was one of the outstanding Israeli films of the 1990s, has created a grim, deeply personal phantasmagoria around the 1982 invasion of Lebanon. Waltz With Bashir, named for Bashir Gemayel, the charismatic hero of the Christian militias that allied themselves with Israel, is an illustrated oral history based on interviews that Folman conducted with former comrades, which mixes dreams with their incomplete or conflicting recollections. Waltz With Bashir opens with a pack of slavering dogs rampaging through nocturnal Tel Aviv—the dramatization of a recurring nightmare experienced by one of Folman’s friends. His assignment, when entering a Lebanese village, had been to silence the dogs because “they knew I couldn’t shoot a person.” One dream triggers another: Folman, who claims to have forgotten everything about his wartime experiences, has his sleep disturbed by a vision of soldiers, naked save for their dog tags and Uzis, drifting zombie-like out of the ocean onto Beirut’s posh hotel strip. That which has been repressed returns with startling ferocity. Although it can be highly explicit in detailing war’s horror, Waltz With Bashir is mainly concerned with the recollection of trauma.

  • Ph.D Minor Corrections-Giulia Daniele
    ALONG AN ALTERNATIVE ROAD WOMEN, RECONCILIATION AND THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT Submitted by Giulia Daniele, under a Cotutelle Agreement, to the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna and the University of Exeter, as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics, Human Rights and Sustainability. November 2011 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. PhD Candidate Giulia Daniele ABSTRACT This Ph.D. thesis explores and documents the relationships existing between some of the foremost bodies of literature within the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These are concerned with women’s feminist activism as well as with recognition and reconciliation approaches which address ethno-national contexts, and in particular the ongoing status of military occupation. In analysing their interconnections, my aim is to show their relevance to any strategies which have attempted to move beyond the current impasse towards the identification of effective peaceful political alternatives. In the course of this research, I take account of the most significant academic writing relevant to this area, and direct attention to those past and contemporary women’s initiatives which have striven to question such a reality. I underline the Palestinian and Israeli Jewish women’s role in tackling the major arguments concerning the ways through which diverse forms of ethno-nationalism have obstructed the achievement of recognition and reconciliation in the land of Palestine.
