The Israeli documentary Malon 9 Kochavim "possesses a brutal immediacy, unfolding like a Middle Eastern Grapes of Wrath" (Time Out NY). Filmmaker Ido Haar gained the trust of a group of young Palestinian men who illegally cross the border into Israel every night in search of construction work. Hiding from police and struggling to survive, they sleep in makeshift hovels ironically referred to as a Nine Star Hotel. The portrait that emerges is both painful but fascinating. A nominee for the Documentary Prix Arte at the European Film Awards, and an Official Selection at the Tribeca film festival. In Arabic and Hebrew with English subtitles. Ido Haar---Israel---2006---78 mins.

DEFAMATION

A "provocative and timely" (Variety) documentary on anti-Semitism in contemporary America and Israel, Defamation considers whether anti-Jewish sentiments are truly on the rise or merely being exploited by right wing Zionists. "Meet Yoav Shamir--the Israeli Michael Moore...he interviews a host of Hebraic activists: those who profit from the resulting outrage at the Anti-Defamation League; Israeli students who have been taught that they risk being attacked at any moment; and moderate rabbis who claim that the word defamation is synonymous with criticizing Israeli policy. Like Moore's modus, Shamir's stroll is sloppy, but his willingness to tip sacred cows is truly courageous" (Time Out New York). Nominated for a European Film Award for Best Documentary. In Hebrew with English subtitles.
Yoav Shamir---Israel---2009---91 mins.

An author, thinker, and theorist of rock star proportions, Susan Sontag is not known for her film work, which is a shame. Her only documentary, Promised Lands, is one of few foreign films to chronicle the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. Sontag's stance is not revealed in an overt fashion, but it seeps out in the film's aural and visual juxtapositions.
