    • 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.

Placing the film within its context of Hollywood musicals, I see West Side Story as a particularly rich locus in which to study the genre’s modernist impulses.

RE-MEDIATING THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT: THE USE OF FILMS TO FACILITATE DIALOGUE by ELANA SHEFRIN Under the Direction of M. Lane Bruner ABSTRACT With the objective of outlining a decision-making process for the selection, evaluation, and application of films for invigorating Palestinian-Israeli dialogue encounters, this project researches, collates, and weaves together the historico-political narratives of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, the artistic worldviews of the Israeli and Palestinian national cinemas, and the procedural designs of successful Track II dialogue interventions. Using a tailored version of Lucien Goldman’s method of homologic textual analysis, three Palestinian and three Israeli popular film texts are analyzed along the dimensions of Historico-Political Contextuality, Socio- Cultural Intertextuality, and Ethno-National Textuality. Then, applying the six “best practices” criteria gleaned from thriving dialogue programs, coupled with the six “cautionary tales” criteria gleaned from flawed dialogue models, three bi-national peacebuilding film texts are homologically analyzed and contrasted with the six popular film texts.

  • HIST 31205 Fall 2020 the Arab-Israeli Conflict Place
    HIST 31205 Fall 2020 The Arab-Israeli Conflict Place: BRWN 1154 Day and Time: M-W-F, 10:30 am – 11:20 am Instructor: Professor Holden Student Hours: M & W, 8:15 am – 9:15 am Email: [email protected] The US media sometimes presents the Arab-Israeli conflict as an irreconcilable divide between Muslims and Jews, but tensions originated just a little over a century ago. This class traces the emergence of political fault lines by assessing conditions in Ottoman Palestine, the effects of World War I on the Middle East, the immigration of European Jews in the Interwar Era and after World War II, the divisive policies implemented by the British in the Mandate era, the establishment of a Jewish state and the subsequent wars between Israel and surrounding Arab countries. In the end, religion is just a part of a long history of conflict and engagement. Learning Outcomes • Topical --To increase understandings of the political, economic and cultural forces that acted as a catalyst for the Arab-Israeli conflict and continue to underpin and stir them. --To reflect on the symbols (monuments, songs, literature, film, language) of Israeli and Palestinian nationalism in order to understand conflict and culture production. --To assess diverging narratives of the Arab-Israeli conflict in film, memoir and other documents, thereby developing students’ abilities to reflect upon and argue about the past. • Analytical --To improve writing skills. --To improve oral communication. --To stimulate analytical consideration of complex issues. --To increase global fluency, or student knowledge about diverse cultures. Basically, this class attends to the five skills that USA Today (https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2015/05/03/cheat-sheet-skills-college- grads-job/26574631/ ) marks as critical for making a positive impression on employers: ability to interact with people, problem-solving skills, oral communication, and written communication.

The short film is a parody of “West Side Story” surrounding two competing falafel stands (one Israeli, one Palestinian) in the West Bank. Student leaders decided to screen the award-winning short film because it offers something rarely seen in the world today: a message of peace for the future. “The creators of ‘West Bank Story’ deserve high praise for creating a film that gets people to pay attention to the real need for a peaceful solution. Too many people are giving up on the Middle East peace process, believing it to be a lost cause,” explained Baraa Kahf, President of the Muslim Law Students Association at UC Davis School of Law. Kahf added, “We organized Common Ground to offer law students the chance to eat together, to laugh together, and to personally engage in the peace process.” Kahf and other student organizers opened the room to discussion following the ‘West Bank Story’ screening. Students offered their reaction to the film itself and shared their thoughts on the role of comedy in social discourse.
