Podcasts about broken cameras

This week the media offers Academy Award buzz as well as the horrors of Israel's response to the horrors of October's attack by Hamas. Here's my 2013 conversation with Palestinian EMAD BURNAT and Israeli GUY DAVIDI, co-directors of the Oscar-nominated documentary, 5 BROKEN CAMERAS. The film tells the story of Burnat, a Palestinian West Bank farmer, his wife, and four small children. As we track the destruction of each of his cameras, we witness his village's ancient olive trees bulldozed, protests intensify, and a son grow from a newborn to a young boy.

This week, as blood was shed again between Israel and Hamas, both sides willing to kill civilians in pursuit of domestic political agendas, listen to my conversation with Palestinian EMAD BURNAT and Israeli GUY DAVIDI, co-directors of 5 BROKEN CAMERAS. It tells the story of Burnat, a Palestinian farmer, his wife, and four small children in the West Bank village of Bil’in. Tracking the destruction of each of his cameras, we witness a son grow from a newborn to a young boy, families’ ancient olive trees bulldozed, and protests intensify. We spoke in February 2013, just before that year’s Academy Awards.

Vor neun Jahren kaufte ein Vater eine kleine Kamera, um das Heranwachsen seines Sohnes im Dorf Bil'in im Westjordanland zu dokumentieren. Zur selben Zeit beschlagnahmte die israelische Armee Land und zerstörten Olivenhaine.

    Weekly, non-violent protests have been conducted in the Palestinian village of Bil'in since 2005.  The village is being threatened by encroaching, illegal, Israeli settlements.  These peaceful demonstrations have been met with extreme deadly force by the Israeli Defense Force.  The documentary, 5 Broken Cameras (nominated for an Academy Award For Best Documentary) documents the killing of Bassem Abu Rahma, one of the demonstrators in 2009.  The picture, at left, is from a April 18, 2015 demonstration where two persons were injured, and scores suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation after Israeli soldiers attacked the weekly nonviolent protest against the Wall and Settlements, in Bil’in village near Ramallah. The protest also marked the Palestinian Prisoners Day, and commemorated the death of Bassem Abu Rahma.  In this podcast, Craig Hanson talks about an encouraging event he attended featuring 5 Broken Cameras filmmaker's brother, Iyad Burnat, who was, also, shot by the IDF in a 2013 demonstration.   Craig's report is one small ray of hope to counter the constant propaganda barrage against Palestinians here in the US by our government, major media and the Israeli lobby.

Guy was born in Jaffa and has directed, edited, and shot films since the age of 16.  As a cameraman, Guy shot several films for France 3 Television. Guy also directed many short documentaries such as In Working Progress,Women Defying Barriers, Keywords presented in film festivals and venues worldwide. Guy's first feature film Interrupted Streams premiered in the Jerusalem International Film Festival. In light of recent events, we revisit Guy's documentary, the Oscar nominated 5 Broken Cameras, a collaboration with Emad Burnat, a Palestinian villager, who gets his first camera. In his village, Bil'in, a separation barrier is being built and the villagers start to resist. For more than five years, Emad filmed the struggle, led by two of his best friends, while also filming his growing son Gibreel and the conflict’s effect on him and other family members.   One Camera after another is shot or smashed, and each camera tells a part of his story.

Kevin Gosztola of Firedoglake and Rania Khalek of the "Dispatches from the Underclass" blog host a special episode with voices sharing the experiences in the war on Palestinian solidarity activism on college or university campuses in America.  Iymen Chehade, a professor who teaches the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at Columbia College Chicago, recounts how his academic freedom was violated by the college after he chose to screen the documentary 5 Broken Cameras to students. Farah and Suha, two University of Michigan students, discuss their struggle to get a divestment resolution passed and how the student government tried to silence and ignore them. And Tori Porell, a student at Northeastern University and president in exile for Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter, describes how the university banned SJP and targeted Arab or Muslim students they thought were associated with the group.

Greetings, intrepid move fans!For the second half of this episode, Phil and Andrew tackle the highly emotional Oscar-winning drama, "Ordinary People" directed by Robert Redford.  This painful but extremely well-acted film is one of the most gut-wrenching, realistic family tragedies ever committed to celluloid.  It also won the Best Picture and Best Director prize in 1980.  Many devout cineastes consider this a travesty, and portend that "Raging Bull" and its director (one Martin Scorsese) unequivocally should have won those two awards.  Before you jump on that bandwagon, loyal listeners and film buffs, do check out "Ordinary People".  One thing for sure is that Timothy Hutton deserved his Oscar for that film as much as any actor ever did for theirs.Not the picture-perfect suburban life they had hoped for, perhaps...You can download the podcast here by right-clicking on that link and choosing "save as", or you can use the convenient player located below:Rounding out this rather serious mini-sode is the Palestinian documentary "5 Broken Cameras", directed by Emad Burnat and Guy Davidi.  This film takes a personal approach to the larger conflict between Israel and Palestine in that it solely consists of the home movies of the cameraman depicting a local struggle for land between the native Palestinians and the Israeli Army.  The title is a poetic reference to the filmmakers' persistent attempts to document this infraction, even after their cameras are destroyed, one after another.  "5 Broken Cameras" was the recipient of many international awards and proves that an important story trumps big budgets when it comes to documentary.And here we are, with the titular cameras and the filmmaker himself.

The Academy Awards will be given out in two weeks and we are lucky to have the co-directors of one of the nominated films with us today. 5 BROKEN CAMERAS, one of five nominees for best documentary, tells the story of a Palestinian farmer who lives with his wife and four small children in the village of Bil'in, in the central West Bank. EMAD BURNAT got his first camera in 2005, when his youngest son, Gibreel, was born. Almost simultaneously, the Israeli army began building a separation wall between Bil'in and a nearby Israeli settlement, separating residents from the olive tree groves that are their livelihood. Burnat turned his camera on his fellow villagers as they responded with nonviolent protests, including marches to the wall every Friday. I am joined in the studio today by Burnat and his Israeli co-director, GUY DAVIDI. Structured in chapters around the destruction of each one of Burnat's cameras, we witness Gibreel grow from a newborn baby into a young boy, as from behind the lens Burnat watches as olive trees are bulldozed and protests intensify in this cinematic diary of life in the West Bank. Upon hearing of the Oscar nomination for their film, EMAD BURNAT stated, "The truth is powerful, it can heal. I hope this film can help heal misunderstanding about us. A filmmaker's dream is winning an Oscars® however my dream is freedom for Palestine, we all have lots of work to do." And the words of Co-director GUY DAVIDI, "I am hopeful this will be a milestone on the road to ending the occupation and securing a brighter and more just future for Palestinians and Israelis."

Israeli filmmaker, Guy Davidi teamed up with Palestinian farmer, Emad Burnat, to create a documentary, 5 Broken Cameras, that has been nominated for an Academy Award for "Best Documentary."  It tells the story of the non-violent protests conducted, over seven years, by a West Bank village, Bil'in (surrounded by illegal Israeli settlements) in an effort to stop the confiscation of Palestinian lands by Israel.  The Israeli Ministry of Education has banned the showing of the film in schools, although it has been aired on two Israeli documentary channels and shown at theaters.  This short video shows the reaction to a film showing to a group of Israeli students.  Watch this and you will be amazed at the hope that this film could generate on both sides of the conflict.  We've seen 5 Broken Cameras and it is very powerful and moving.

Guy was born in Jaffa and has directed, edited, and shot films since the age of 16.  As a cameraman, Guy shot several films for France 3 Television. Guy also directed many short documentaries such as In Working Progress, Women Defying Barriers, Keywords presented in film festivals and venues worldwide. In 2010, Guy's first feature film Interrupted Streams premiered in the Jerusalem International Film Festival. Guy's most recent documentary is 5 Broken Cameras, a collaboration with Emad Burnat, a Palestinian villager, who gets his first camera. In his village, Bil'in, a separation barrier is being built and the villagers start to resist. For more than five years, Emad films the struggle, led by two of his best friends, while also filming his growing son Gibreel and the conflict’s effect on him and other family members.   One Camera after another is shot or smashed, and each camera tells a part of his story. 5 Broken Cameras won the best world cinema directing award for both Guy and Emad and 5 Broken Cameras was nominated for best documentary at Sundance.
