Yiddish: A Tale of Survival (2012) Douban
director: Abigail Hirsch
April 8, 2021 watched
Yom HaShoah想看一部應景的電影就找了這部,畢竟Yiddish is the language of the Holocaust. 其實平日裡用到Yiddish的時候還是很多的,連我們阿姆斯特丹方言裡都大量Yiddish詞。雖說要學的話其實挺簡單,不學也能聽懂大半了,但還是不會去特地去學,因為無法在culture和history上relate就總覺得怪怪的。愛的是Eretz Israel的話希伯來語和阿拉伯語就可以了。會比較希望holocaust survivors的後人們還是傳承一下,Yiddish還是有很多很不錯的藝術作品的,比如本片裡的那些舞台劇,歌曲,詩歌等等。

The Transit Camps (2019) Douban
director: Dina Zvi-Riklis actor: Yaël Abecassis
A four episodes documentary series that unveils one of the most controversial topics in the history of the Israeli state.

王者比比 (2018) Douban
King Bibi
director: Dan Shadur actor: 阿隆·阿布布尔 / 本雅明·内塔尼亚胡
other title: King Bibi / Kung Bibi
《世界總理 國王畢比》是第一部以納坦雅胡為對象的紀錄片,關於他的崛起之路,與美國和川普總統的深厚關係,以及他對自身形象和媒體的偏執癡迷,而這很有可能會是他最終垮台的原因。

1月9日,《世界總理 國王畢比》(King Bibi)成為Yes Docu上收視率最高的紀錄片。
自從2018年7月在耶路撒冷電影節上首映以來,《世界總理 國王畢比》已經成為年度最受爭議的作品。紀錄片拍攝以色列這位最具爭議性人物別出心裁的手法,引發該國政治光譜兩端的人馬紛紛現身評論。 這部影片引起以色列各大媒體(黃金時段電視節目、廣播、平面和數字媒體)的關注,甚至連納坦雅胡總理本人也都提到了這部紀錄片。
隨著4月9日以色列大選的腳步接近,針對納坦雅胡的刑事調查也如火如荼,有人說《畢比國王》極有可能會左右大選結果。凡是想要了解以色列和它過去二十年來的領導人,本片是一部不容錯過的作品。

唐納·川普令人大開眼界的前二十年,班傑明·納坦雅胡已經深知與媒體維繫毒性關係,同時與公眾直接溝通所帶來的政治利益。
《世界總理 國王畢比》完全仰賴納坦雅胡多年來面對媒體的檔案影片,探索他的崛起之路:從他早年深受美國電視台歡迎的客座專家身份,到公開自己的不倫戀情,以及他對社群媒體藝術的嫻熟專精。
在穿梭各大攝影棚的過程中,「畢比」從以色列高人氣的政治希望,脫胎成為一名飽受爭議的人物。有些人視他為以色列的救世主;有些則而認為他是一個機關算盡,不惜一切代價來鞏固權力的政客。

══國際媒體評論══
「對以色列總理班傑明·納坦雅胡在媒體上脫胎換骨的過程,有著深刻的見解。」
《華盛頓郵報》
「畢比國王的稱號,加上導演丹·沙杜爾的巧妙引用,傳神呼應本片關於納坦雅胡對媒體偏執癡迷的觀點。」 《紐約時報》

══以色列媒體評論══
「這是一部耐人尋味的紀錄片,但說我通過巫術控制人民絕對是無稽之談。」 班傑明·納坦雅胡
「這部紀錄片探討了納坦雅胡與媒體的關係。」第12頻道新聞(以色列最受好評的新聞節目)
「根據他從觀看《畢比國王》中學到的東西,脫口說出十分鐘的獨白。」 Lior Schlein(以色列《每日秀》)
「看到這樣一部優雅的紀錄片處理我們這裡最炙手可熱的主題,真是令人震驚。絕對不容錯過……任何自認對納坦雅胡無所不知的人,都須要看《畢比國王》。」 《Timeout》
「……對以色列最富爭議人物一次極為公允和誠實的描述…… 大家真的必須看看《畢比國王》。」《國土報》
「震撼人心的體驗……,令人著迷且富有啟發性。」Walla(以色列最多人瀏覽的網站)
「深刻、迷人、令人不安」Mako(以色列最多人看的電視頻道)

director: Riki Shelach Nissimoff actor: Micha Celektar / Shira Katzenelenbogen …
A true story about the only ever execution of an Israeli officer by the Israeli military.
In 1948, six weeks after the state of Israel was established and in the midst of the War of Independence, Captain Meyer Tuvianski was accused of treason.

Code Name: Ayalon (2020) Douban
director: Michael Lopatin
In 1975 a demolition crew was at work in central Israel, clearing away the remains of an old kibbutz at the top of Kibbutz Hill. When several members of the demo team wrestled aside a large rusted clothes washer, they revealed a small entryway that seemed to lead below ground. Bulldozers shut down their engines, cranes froze in place as members of the team looked down into the hole. What they saw, what they discovered had been kept secret, hidden for three decades.

「AtlantaJFF2021」就電影和故事來說的話沒有什麼讓人眼前一亮的地方,平穩的olim視角敘事(流水賬)。為什麼說是olim視角呢,看כאן11前兩年拍的「ימי בגין」比較一下就知道了。而且請來採訪的作家Daniel Gordis, Yossi Klein Halevi他們的書也都是典型olim視角。並沒有說olim視角不好的意思,只是缺少了我想看的perspective和depth

Under the Iron Dome (2020) Douban
director: Uri Bar-On
In 2004, a 4-year-old was killed in Sderot by rocket fire from the neighboring Gaza Strip. The child's death prompted Israel's Ministry of Defense to examine how to further protect southern communities from indiscriminate rocket attacks.
In 2007, the fundamentalist militant group Hamas comes to power in Gaza, and rocket fire increases throughout Israel's southern cities. Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz, a resident of Sderot, is torn between an American laser system and an invention beyond anyone's imagination — Iron Dome.
Israel develops Iron Dome in an insanely short period of time (only 3 years). In 2011, Captain Maor Gabriel uses the system to intercept the first rocket over Ashkelon, and history seems to be changing.

איזה כיף! 一上來又被晃丟了,不過在發現是在半stage半docu地講Gitai自己家的故事之後就晃了回來。整部片子對期間的歷史地理時間完全不提,對非以色列觀眾是相當的不友好了… 看完之後覺得片名非常合適,全片印象最深的是媽媽Efratia,文筆也太好了,大概是知道了Gitai電影都能拍得那麼poetic的原因。雖然是很personal的片子,但是在表現反戰立場上也是不遺餘力毫不遮掩。

The Journey of Vaan Nguyen (2005) Douban
director: Duki Dror actor: Vaan Nguyen
Hoiami Nguyen never imagined that he will end up so far from his home village of Bong Son in central Vietnam. Political circumstances and the roulette of life have washed him to the shores of Israel. The penniless Vietnamese refugee became a father of 5 Hebrew speaking Israeli daughters. His daughter - Vaan, describes her parents' ordeal using a razor sharp language in her blog. She feels trapped in circles of identity which will never meet. Caught between her wild and stormy Israeli spirit and the expectations to be modest and obedient Vietnamese at home, there is unbridgeable abyss. When her father returns to his family in Vietnam, Van finds herself absorbed into his tragic story - a cruel tale of loss and survival. Hoimai's dream of return sends Vaan to look for a brighter future in the new-old country. She joins him in trying to reclaim the lands of the family, in the remote village at the heart of the Vietnamese jungle.
My Fantasia (2001) Douban
director: Duki Dror
The Darwish brothers fled Baghdad to Israel in the 1950s and established "Fantasia" - a menorah factory in Tel Aviv's industrial zone. Stirred by the bombing of Baghdad and Tel Aviv in the Gulf War of 1991, director Duki Dror - the son of the youngest of the three brothers - retraces his Iraqi roots. Faced with the reclusive silence of his father, Dror digs up bits of information about the family's past. Finally, his reluctant father divulges a long kept secret. A revelatory family portrait that balances humor with pain.
Powder (2012) Douban
director: Eyal Goldberg
Three funerals, three generations, two wars and one boyfriend waiting in Tel Aviv. A troubling portrait of the filmmaker, a son to one of the founding families of Metula (a town on the northernmost Israeli border). Against the backdrop of a family dealing with illness and death, the film's protagonist is repeatedly called for reserve duty as a Tank Commander in the Israeli army. Through use of archive footage of events filmed over the course of a decade, the tragic-comic clash between the filmmaker and the habit of obedience unfolds.

介紹中強調他是Metula人,以為是著重講2006年打Hezbollah那會,然而並沒有,時間跨度好長。從2nd Intifada (2000)開始就不想去報到了,結果一直到Oferet Yetzuka (2009)發生時候還是一直被緊急征召,最後在車里跟媽媽討論是「響應征召去Gaza妳更好過一點還是不響應征召去坐牢妳更好過一點」的時候雖然是半開玩笑狀態,還是覺得很悲哀…

Concrete (2014) Douban
director: Nurit Kedar
other title: בטון
For the first time soldiers who took part in the battle of Operation "Cast Lead" in Gaza 2009 come forth. To most Israelis it's still unclear what really happened there, starting at the prohibition of the reporters to enter Gaza. The IDF spokesman has adopted the working method of "minimal information - minimal criticism". The sixteen years old ignorant children will, certainly, fill one day the place of the soldiers that, unknowingly, found themselves acting mechanically and mistakenly engaging in war crimes... Are these portraits of winners? Portraits of naivety? Or are they going to be the victims of the next war?
