Route181: Fragments of A Journey in Palestine- Israel

For more than a year, KHLEIFI and SIVAN have dedicated themselves to producing what they consider a cinematic act of faith: a film co-directed by a Palestinian and by an Israeli. In the summer of 2002, for two long months, they traveled together from the south to the north of their country of birth, traced their trajectory on a map and called it Route 181. This virtual line follows the borders outlined in Resolution 181, which was adopted by the United Nations on Nevember 29th,1947, to partition Palestine into two states.

Cinévardaphoto-When Photos Trigger Films

"Cin?vardaphoto" comprises Varda's most recent film, Ydessa, the Bears and Etc..., screening alongside two earlier films, "Ulysses" and "Salut les Cubains"! "Ydessa, the Bears and Etc..." began with Varda's visit to an exhibition by artist-collector-curator Ydessa Hendeles. The display of hundreds of old photographs, each of which features a teddy bear, prompted Varda to seek out the artist and examine what lies behind the meticulous accumulation of these very particular historical artifacts. In "Ulysses", Varda revisited her own memories and tose of the subjects.

The White Diamond

A film about the daring adventure of exploring the rainforest canopy with a novel flying device-the Jungle Airship. Airship engineer Dr. Graham DORRINGTON embarks on a trip to the giant Kaieteur Falls in the heart of Guyana, hoping to fly his helium-filled invention above the tree tops. But this logistic effort will not be without risk. Twelve years ago, a similar expedition into the unique habitat of the canopy ended in disaster when Dorrington's friend Dieter PLAGE, a great natural history filmmaker, fell to his death.
