Innocence tells the story of children who resisted to be enlisted but capitulated. Their stories were never told as they died during their service. Through a narration based on their haunting diaries, the film depicts their inner turmoil. It interweaves first-hand military images, key moments from childhood until enlistment and home videos of the deceased soldiers whose stories are silenced and seen as a national threat.
A documentary functioning as a character study of Amir Orian.
For more than 20 years, the journalist Gideon Levy brought horror stories from the occupied territories to Israeli readers. A play writer reads his article and writes a play, a theater director adapts it to the stage, actors play in it to the audience, which are now able to encounter on stage the not so distant horrible reality. A mediated encounter. And now, accessible for you, a film... 'Keywords' exists in times where info is a product. It casts doubt on the capability of Media and Arts to fulfill the role they once filled: actual contact between people.
In 1997-1998, many Bedouin Palestinian refugees living under Israeli Occupation were forcibly displaced by Israel to a garbage dump. During that entire period, the Oslo Peace Process was ongoing, with 'high hopes' for peace, while a plan existed to forcibly displace many Bedouin from Jerusalem and Ramallah. This calls into question Israel's commitment to peace, its willingness to allow a viable Palestinian state to come into existence, and its attitudes towards Palestinians generally. HIGH HOPES (with "High Hopes" as its soundtrack, donated by Pink Floyd), is made from AP/BBC archive material of the 1997-1998 displacements and the parallel expansion of Ma'ale Adumim settlement. The situation has grown worse during the current period, when talks again took place, as Israel both expanded settlements and formulated plans for the mass displacement of some 30,000 Bedouin Palestinian herders.
In the shadow of the disengagement from Gaza, west from Ramallah, a new city is under construction, Kiriyat Sefer. In the early hours of the morning, some construction workers from a neighboring Palestinian village, Bilin, walk towards another day of work. Unemployed since the early days of the Second Intifada and drowned into financial debts, Maher Hatib, is forced to work, against his own conscience, in the new settlement that is being built on the village's lands. In a day's work, with scarce time for rest, the words tossed into the air and space open a window to the sentiments of the workers for the land they once cherished. The struggle of the workers remains silent given the paradox of their situation. Their employment supplies the occupation forces that allow the construction of the separation fence and the continuation of the future expansion plans.
Beneath the shadow of the massive attack in Gaza-strip, 4 women: Israelis and Palestinians are trying to meet. The rift, doubts and shock from this attack are putting in question their capability to maintain or deepen the relations.
Paths of lives are crossed in one village in the west bank. Along the broken water pipelines, villagers walk on their courses towards an indefinite future. Israel that controls the water resources, supplies only a small amount of water, and when the water streams are not certain nothing can evolve. The control over the water pressure not only dominates every aspect of life but as well dominates the spirit. a film by Alexandre Goetschmann & Guy Davidi.
Amid the failing counteroffensive, a journalist follows a Ukrainian platoon on their mission to traverse one mile of heavily fortified forest and liberate a strategic village from Russian occupation. But the farther they advance through their destroyed homeland, the more they realize that this war may never end.
