In His Image (2020) Douban
director: Tami Ravid
Does a dead man have the right to become a father? Do parents, who lost their son, have the right to become grandparents after his death? In Israel, the desire for offspring has taken on an extra dimension. In His Image follows three mothers who lost a son during his military service and are now trying to have something of him live on in a posthumous grandchild, using semen taken immediately after his death.
Filmmaker Tami Ravid doesn’t ignore the ethical aspects of this phenomenon, but she follows the three families, each in their own phase of this emotional process, with compassion and without judgment. Haderet and her husband lost their son in 2004. After years of hesitation, his wife, now remarried, decided that she didn’t want to have a child by her deceased husband. But Haderet fought a lengthy legal battle to obtain her son’s sperm. Ludmila shows off her granddaughter, who was born 15 years after the death of her biological father. For Tzipi and the intended mother of her grandchild, Inbal, it’s a tense time, as Inbal tries to conceive via IVF.

The Raven - Ze'ev Jabotinsky (2015) Douban
director: Ayelet Ofarim
other title: העורב - זאב ז'בוטינסקי
The Raven is a touching and exciting portrait of one of Israel's most contradictory figures. Born in Odessa, Jabotinsky was a brilliant writer and passionate spokesperson for Russia's ethnic minorities. Eventually refocusing his energies and skills to the Zionist cause, he established the controversial Revisionist Party. While Jabotinsky is often memorialized as a key founder of the Israeli far right, director Ayelet Ofarim presents a more complex portrait of his dynamic life and character, complimenting readings stunning animation and wonderful narration.

本以為是講Jabotinsky生平的紀錄片,卻意外收穫「העברים」這個系列。在Zionist leader和literary person/artist這兩個角色很難說出更喜歡哪個。片子裡每個詩歌和書信節選朗讀/吟唱都喜歡,「העורב」覺得直接可以rap出來的情緒。BGM和illustrations做得真好!

Golda (2019) Douban
director: Sagi Bornstein / Udi Nir …
Shortly before her passing, Golda Meir was interviewed for Israeli television. After shooting ended, the cameras kept rolling, recording an intimate talk with the first and only woman to ever rule Israel. As she lit one cigarette after the other, Golda spoke freely, pleading her case for her term as Prime Minister – five turbulent years that secured her place in history, albeit at a high personal cost.
Based on these never-before seen materials, testimonies of supporters and opponents and rare archival footage, GOLDA tells the story of Meir’s dramatic premiership – from her surprising rise to power and iconic international stature as “queen of the Jewish people”, to her tragic and lonely demise.

The Prophet (2019) Douban
director: Ilan Rubin Fields actor: Meir Kahane
other title: הנביא כהנא
Rabbi Meir Kahane began his career in the USA, where he founded the Jewish Defense League. As the league’s violent activities turned into terrorism, he was forced to leave America. In Israel, he became the most radical politician the state has ever known. He united the right and the left against him, and was banned by the media. Today, thirty years after he was barred from Israeli parliament, Kahanism has seeped into Israeli society, and Kahane’s prophecy about the divide between Judaism and democracy is echoed in the halls of the Knesset.

「SERETNL2020」我悲哀地覺得其實Kahane放在現在支持者應該比在80年代還要多。跟「Incitement」連在一起會看效果更佳(Meir Kahane的追隨者Baruch Goldstein的追隨者Yigal Amir)。

Jerusalem Douban Goodreads Skybridge
author: Guy Delisle translator: Dascher, Helge publishing house: Drawn and Quarterly 2012 - 4 other title: Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City
" Delisle's books are] some of the most effective and fully realized travel writing out there." --NPR
Acclaimed graphic memoirist Guy Delisle returns with his strongest work yet, a thoughtful and moving travelogue about life in Israel. Delisle and his family spent a year in East Jerusalem as part of his wife's work with the nongovernmental organization Doctors Without Borders. They were there for the short but brutal Gaza War, a three-week-long military strike that resulted in more than a thousand Palestinian deaths. In his interactions with the emergency medical team sent in by Doctors Without Borders, Delisle eloquently plumbs the depths of the conflict.
Some of the most moving moments in "Jerusalem "are the interactions between Delisle and Palestinian art students as they explain the motivations for their work. Interspersed with these simply told, affecting stories of suffering, Delisle deftly and often drolly recounts the quotidian: crossing checkpoints, going kosher for Passover, and befriending other stay-at-home dads with NGO-employed wives.
"Jerusalem "evinces Delisle's renewed fascination with architecture and landscape as political and apolitical, with studies of highways, villages, and olive groves recurring alongside depictions of the newly erected West Bank Barrier and illegal Israeli settlements. His drawn line is both sensitive and fair, assuming nothing and drawing everything. "Jerusalem "showcases once more Delisle's mastery of the travelogue.

Hebron Exposed (2018) Douban
director: Tom Roberts
In a two-part investigation BBC Arabic goes deep inside the divided city of Hebron in the West Bank, the only place where Palestinian residents live alongside Jewish settlers. This second film follows a unique project in which Palestinian teenagers are taught how to use video cameras to capture suspected abuses of human rights in the streets around them.

The holy city of Hebron is the most divided in the West Bank, the only place where Palestinian residents live among Jewish settlers. It’s a scene of raw tensions and countless killings. In March 2016 human rights activist Emad Abushamsiya filmed the shooting of a wounded Palestinian by the Israeli soldier Elor Azaria. The video went viral, landing Azaria with a manslaughter conviction and turning Abushamsiya into a figure of hate for the Israeli right. As this film shows, he received dozens of death threats, his house was firebombed and he was harassed continually. The pressure became too much for his eldest son, splitting the family apart.

Abushamsiya’s response was to assert the importance of non-violent resistance and the necessity of submitting to the rule of law. He formed a group called the Palestinian Human Rights Defenders and began training a group of local teenage activists, some as young as 12, to use video cameras in order to document alleged human rights abuses. His ultimate ambition – to alter the course of the Israeli occupation – may or may not be realised, but as this film shows, the video camera has given him and his young trainees a new sense of power and purpose. We follow Abushamsiya as he prepares his team for the intense reality of confronting violence with video cameras. The film includes several extended examples of their work, revealing the hostility between the two communities with rare immediacy.

O Jerusalem! Douban
author: Larry Collins / Dominique Lapierre publishing house: Simon & Schuster 1988 - 5
Now a major motion picture, this remarkable classic recounts, moment by moment, the spellbinding process that gave birth to the state of Israel. Collins and Lapierre weave a brilliant tapestry of shattered hopes, fierce pride, and breathtaking valor as the Arabs, Jews, and British collide in their fight for control of Jerusalem. "O Jerusalem!" meticulously re-creates this historic struggle. Collins and Lapierre penetrate the battle from the inside, exploring each party's interests, intentions, and concessions as the city of all of their dreams teeters on the brink of destruction. From the Jewish fighters and their heroic commanders to the charismatic Arab chieftain whose death in battle doomed his cause but inspired a generation of Palestinians, "O Jerusalem!" tells the three-dimensional story of this high-stakes, emotional conflict. Now with a new introduction by Dominique Lapierre, "O Jerusalem!" remains, as ever, a towering testament to the fiery dawn of Israel and an unforgettable tale of faith and violence, of betrayal and indomitable courage.
