Palestine Blues
Palestine/Israel, 2005
This urgent, poetic documentary captures the resistance of Palestinian farmers in the village of Jayyous as Israel’s separation wall threatens their survival. Shot in a guerilla-style of cinéma vérité that heightens dramatic tension, the film largely forgoes narration, opting instead to let the voices and struggles of Jayyous’ citizens, some of whom are director Nida Sinnokrot’s relatives, speak for themselves. Palestine Blues is an intimate, deeply human portrait of resilience in the face of displacement and occupation.—Public Programmer Beandrea July
DCP, color, 72 min. Director: Nida Sinnokrot.
