Adolf Eichmann in Buenos Aires
CAPTURING THE DEVIL The real story of the capture of Adolph Eichmann Based on the memoirs of Peter Zvi Malkin A feature film written and directed by Philippe Azoulay PITCH Peter Zvi Malkin, one of the best Israeli agents, is volunteering to be part of the commando set up to capture Adolf Eichmann in Buenos Aires. As the others, he wants to take revenge for the killing of his family, but the mission is to bring Eichmann alive so that he may be put on trial in Jerusalem. As Peter comes to consider his prisoner an ordinary and banal being he wants to understand the incomprehensible. To do so, he disobeys orders. During the confrontation between the soldier and his prisoner, a strange relationship develops… CAPTURING THE DEVIL HISTORICAL CONTEXT 1945 The Nuremberg trial is intended to clear the way to for the rebuilding of Western Europe Several Nazi hierarchs have managed to hide or escape Europe 1945 Adolph Eichmann who has organized the deportations and killings of millions of people is hiding in Europe. 1950 Eichmann is briefly detained in Germany but escapes to South America thanks to a Red Cross passport.

The Nazi hunt is considered a “private“ matter. 1957 the Bavarian General Attorney Fritz Bauer, who has engaged into a second denazification of Germany’s elite, gets confirmation that Eichmann may be located in Argentina. -
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. -
Julian Schnabel Childhood and Other Graphic Works
JULIAN SCHNABEL CHILDHOOD AND OTHER GRAPHIC WORKS September 14 – November 11, 2017 Opening: September 13 | 6 – 9 pm Circle Culture | Gipsstraße 11 | 10119 Berlin Reception at Hotel de Rome with acoustic live music by Frida Gold: September 15 | 5 – 7 pm Hotel de Rome | Behrenstraße 37 | 10117 Berlin Childhood (4), 2016, carbon print on etching paper, 80 x 57 cm On the occasion of this year’s Berlin Art Week, Circle Culture is delighted to present graphic works by American artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel. The two-part exhibition will be on display at Circle Culture, Gipsstraße 11 and at Hotel de Rome, and will be opening on two evenings. This first exhibition of the gallery with Julian Schnabel also marks the return of Circle Culture to its place of origin in Berlin-Mitte. This place will be revitalized as a main location for exhibitions, round tables and cultural projects in a wide spectrum. Graphic works represent an impressive compendium within the oeuvre of Julian Schnabel, which he continues with the current works for the first time after 18 years. As in his paintings, they reflect the diversity and intrinsic creative urge of the artist, who constantly applies surprising printing techniques and materials. Characteristic for Julian Schnabel‘s expressionist work is the free experimentation with different materials, techniques and also citations. His complex overpaintings are characterized by associative, encyclopedic- seeming visual worlds, which Schnabel borrows and alienates artistically. The results are intertextual embed- ded works of art with a deliberately open character. Often they tell about the hidden, the fragmentary yet seemingly all-connected, while moving along an emotional and irrational level with an expressive intensity. -

Martha P. Nochimson Associate Editor, Cineaste
Film-Philosophy, 13.1 April 2009 New York Film Festival 2008 Part II: Of Now, Passion, and the ‘We’ Martha P. Nochimson Associate Editor, Cineaste The films discussed here in Part II, each in its own way, play with the possibility that the ‘I’ may be a fiction, or simply a bundle of futile immediate desires that is - in basic ways that the individual tends to understand but dimly if at all - severely constrained by the continuities and systems of the ‘we’, of either the family, the community and society as a whole. Ironically, the more the viability of the discreet individual self is challenged by these films, the more each individual in them emerges in his or her fragile radiance and complexity.

Blooms Hilton Als
Blooms Hilton Als Taken together, Julian Schnabel’s canvases are a garden illuminated by perception, which is all Gertrude Stein’s “Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose” was about—how we look at what we look at, how to make seeing into words. Schnabel’s masterly Rose Paintings series, exe- cuted in 2015–17, are blooms that will never die on the vine, let alone the vine of thought. The works are a description of the ephemeral—flowers as forces in nature that expire to blossom again. By using materials meant to last—oil, paint, Bondo on wood—Schnabel creates concrete forms out of that which is meant to return to the ground. In these works, he excavates flowers, those captives of time that die with time, and makes them timeless, in pictures that draw on nature to make of it what the artist will—and does. Schnabel makes paintings that are illustrative of his nature. The artist first attracted widespread attention more than three decades ago for work that was unlike anything else, because the Brooklyn-born Schnabel’s point of view has always been unlike anyone else’s. His eye is a rose. In paintings ranging from Self Portrait in Andy’s Shadow (1987) to the Untitled (Chinese Paintings) series (initiated in 2003), the creator worked in a tradition that could not be readily identified because it was his own, an out- growth of his soul. Like flowers that cannot be classified, the Rose paintings come at you from different angles. One painting looks at the roses a little from the left, some are more centered—all of which goes to show how one’s view of a thing can change the thing being observed; our percep- tions change paintings, just as paint changes blank canvas. -

Like our Northwest Film & Video Festival, which celebrates the unique visions of artists in our community, PIFF seeks to engage, educate, entertain and challenge. We invite you to explore and celebrate not only the art of film, but also the world around you. It is said that film is a universal language—able to transcend geographic, political and cultural boundaries in a singular fashion. In the spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous observation, “There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler who is foreign,” this year’s films allow us to discover what unites rather than what divides. The Festival also unites our community, bringing together culturally diverse audiences, a remarkable cross-section of cinematic voices, public and private funders of the arts, corporate sponsors and global film industry members. This fabulous ecology makes the event possible, and we wish our credits at the back of the program could better convey our deep appreci- ation of all who help make the Festival happen. -

Miral by Rula Jebreal Published by Penguin Books, 2010, 309 pages Reviewed by: Loni Crowe ([email protected]), Coordinator of Orientation and Family Programs, First Year Programs, Eastern Kentucky University Overview Miral takes the reader on a journey spanning nearly five decades, beginning with the establishment of the Dar El-Tifel orphanage and up through the founder, Hind Husseini’s, death in 1994. Set primarily in Jerusalem, the book sheds light on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as it explores the experiences of the characters through the period of the First Intifada. While the biographical components of the story of Hind Husseini are true, the author draws from her own life experiences. The story begins decades prior to Miral’s birth, and the reader follows her development and growth into a young woman during the 1980s. Even though the story may start out slowly and be challenging to engage with initially, as the book progresses, the pace also picks up and becomes a much faster read. While this coming-of-age story highlights the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and contains political undertones, it also communicates the importance of education and educational opportunity, philanthropic work and servant leadership, and compassion and selflessness in the name of a cause. Intertwined stories paint a picture from multiple perspectives from within the world in which Miral was raised. These narratives and interconnected characters and sub-plots essentially turn the faceless masses of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict into identifiable and relatable characters caught in the religious and political upheavals of their homeland. The author has structured the experiences of the main characters within the context of five primary parts: Hind, Nadia, Fatima, Miral, and Hani. -

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.
