Emotional Rescue
Helena Waldmann, 2007, 20 minutes, DVD
Emotional Rescue delivers an ambulance which rescues those traumatized by walls, fences, and the restrictions on freedom of movement. The protagonists are an ambulance driver and his friend, a mobile coffee seller who is convinced that his coffee can bring people back to life. The film stops and starts again and again at the checkpoints, and the film shows the divided landscape, the closed-in enclave of Qalqilya and the patrolling military helicopters over occupied Palestine.

like twenty impossibles
Annemarie
Jacir, 2004, 17 minutes, DVD-R
Occupied
Palestine: A serene landscape now pockmarked by military
checkpoints. When a Palestinian film crew averts a closed
checkpoint by taking a remote side road, the political
landscape unravels, and the passengers are slowly taken
apart by the mundane brutality of military occupation.
Both a visual poem and a narrative, like twenty impossibles
wryly questions artistic responsibility and the politics
of filmmaking, while speaking to the fragmentation of
a people.

Slingshot Hip Hop ***HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED!***

Slingshot Hip Hop braids together the stories of young Palestinians living in Gaza, the West Bank and inside Israel as they discover Hip Hop and employ it as a tool to surmount divisions imposed by occupation and poverty. From internal checkpoints and Separation Walls to gender norms and generational differences, this is the story of young people crossing the borders that separate them.

Star of Goliath
Dave Lippman, 2005, 25 minutes, DVD
Boldly addressing the history of Zionism and anti-Zionism, the Wall, Israeli military incursions, and the Right of Return, Lippman attempts to understand his Israeli cousins by juxtaposing typical Zionist justifications with the brutal realities of the occupation. The presentation is a triumph and represents the leaps acivists have made in developing creative educational tools.
