Award-winning documentarian Dawn Porter talks about bringing journalistic principles and standards to documentary filmmaking and treating documentary subjects as collaborators and partners rather than “subjects.” We also discuss the need to keep having the difficult conversations needed to keep up with the changing documentary landscape. We also talk about how she got into the business by way of another profession, and discuss one of my favorites of her films, Gideon's Army, which premiered at Sundance and was nominated for both the Independent Spirit Award for Best Doc and an Emmy.Dawn's 2023 film, The Lady Bird Diaries was called “mesmerizing” and “elegant” by The Guardian. She is also known for the HBO film Trapped, about the last abortion providers in Mississippi, as well as films about Civil Rights icon John Lewis and the Tulsa race massacre of 1921.

This week, as blood is shed yet again between Israel and Hamas, and both sides are willing to kill civilians in pursuit of their domestic political agendas, listen to my conversation with Palestinian EMAD BURNAT and Israeli GUY DAVIDI, co-directors of the Academy Award-nominated documentary, 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 while families’ ancient olive trees are bulldozed and protests intensify. We spoke in February 2013, just before that year’s Academy Awards.
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.
Dokumentären El Médico - The Cubaton story av Daniel Fridell handlar om den kubanske artisten El Médico, som inte kan bestämma sig för om han ska satsa på att bli popstjärna på heltid, eller att göra sin plikt som en god socialist och arbeta som läkare i det kubanska folkets tjänst i stället. Ett val som blir ännu lite svårare när han hamnar i klorna på en svensk musikproducent, som tycker att det bästa sättet att marknadsföra hans musik på är genom att göra musikvideor med lättklädda kvinnor. Men filmen är också intressant eftersom processen pågått så länge - ja faktiskt redan innan regissören var inkopplad. Dessutom har den nästan blivit till en vandringssägen bland svenska filmklippare - eftersom åtminstone fjorton personer varit inblandade i klippningen. Johanna Langhorst har träffat en del av den för att få deras historia om hur en dokumentärfilm blir till. Givetvis ska regissören också ska få komma till tals. Så här berättar Daniel Fridell för Saman Bakhtiari om processen bakom El Medico. The Outs, så heter webserien som seglat upp som höstens absoluta favoritserier för Kinos Roger Wilson. Det är en webserie som handlar om bögen Mitchell och hans bästa tjejkompis Oona, och deras liv i Brooklyn. Men ovanligt snygg, seriös och välproducerad för att vara gjord direkt för nätet. Därför beslöt sig Roger för att ringa upp seriens regissör, manusförfattare och huvudrollsinnehavare Adam Goldman för att diskutera homosexuella på tv, webseriernas framtid och varför man väljer att lägga alla sina besparingar på att göra en egen tv-serie. Bioaktuella Five broken cameras är en sorts videodagbok, om en palestinsk familj i en extremt ovanlig situation. För byn de bor i ligger precis intill en judisk bosättning, och hela byn är indragen i en långdragen och komplicerad konflikt om vem som egentligen har rätt till jorden mellan bosättningen och den palestinska byn. Varje fredag demonstrerar hela byn mot bosättningen, och byggandet av en barriär på byns mark. Demonstrationer som blir nerslagna på ett allt mer brutalt sätt. Något som också syns på de trasiga kamerorna i filmtiteln. Kameror som slagits sönder, och ibland skjutits till döds vid demonstrationerna vid barriären.Nina Asarnoj har träffat regissören Emad Burnat och frågade honom om filmkamerans olika uppgifter i hans liv, som livräddare, vän och vittne. I vår programpunkt Om igen berättar Kinolyssnarna om vilken film de sett allra flest gånger. Den här gången är det Ola Göransson från Tranås tur. Han är till vardags VA-tekniker och sysslar med rörinspektion. Filmen han sett flest gånger är "Här har du ditt liv" av Jan Troell. Den är baserad på Eyvind Johnsons romansvit "Romanen om Olof" och handlar om den 14-åriga norrbottningen Olof Persson som ger sig av från sin fosterfamilj och ut i livet och avverkar en massa olika yrken som bland annat flottare, sågverksarbetare och biografmaksinist innan han åker söderut på den stora resan in i vuxenlivet. En bildningsroman som blev film 1966 med skådespelare som Allan Edwall, Per Oscarsson samt Eddie Axberg i rollen som Olof. Anders Bennysson ringde upp Kinolyssnaren Ola Göransson för att höra varför han sett Troells klassiker uppåt 50 gånger - och det visade sig handla om vådan av att använda en film i sövande syfte - är det en film som är för bra så kan man ju inte sluta titta... Vad är bäst just nu på tv, bio och vod/dvd? Kinos producent Lisa Bergström tipsar om sina personliga favoriter!
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 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.
