From DOCLAB:
Hanoi DOCLAB cordially invites you to the screening of the “5 Broken Cameras” by Emad Burnat và Guy Davidi. The film won a 2012 Sundance Film Festivalaward, Golden Apricot at the 2012 Yerevan International Film Festival, Armenia, for Best Documentary Film, and was nominated for a 2012 Academy Award.
Duration: 90 minutes.
Language: The film is in Palestinian with English and Vietnamese subtitle.
“An extraordinary work of both cinematic and political activism, 5 Broken Cameras is a deeply personal, first-hand account of non-violent resistance in Bil’in, a West Bank village threatened by encroaching Israeli settlements. Shot almost entirely by Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat, who bought his first camera in 2005 to record the birth of his youngest son, the footage was later given to Israeli co-director Guy Davidi to edit. Structured around the violent destruction of each one of Burnat’s cameras, the filmmakers’ collaboration follows one family’s evolution over five years of village turmoil. Burnat watches from behind the lens as olive trees are bulldozed, protests intensify, and lives are lost. “I feel like the camera protects me,” he says, “but it’s an illusion.”
Free Entrance.
The screening is non-profit and aims for research and studies only.
This is within Hanoi DocLab’s bi-weekly “Creative Documentary Film Series” screening program. Let’s look forward also to the coming films in the program.
