5 BROKEN CAMERAS (Dir. E. BURNAT, G. DAVIDI, 2012;  PALESTINE)

The critically-acclaimed 5 BROKEN CAMERAS is a deeply personal, first-hand account   of life and non-violent resistance in Bil’in, a West Bank village surrounded by Israeli   settlements. Shot by Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat, who bought his first camera in   2005 to record the birth of his youngest son, Gibreel, the film was co-directed by Burnat   and Guy Davidi, an Israeli filmmaker. Structured in chapters around the destruction of   each one of Burnat’s cameras, the filmmakers’ collaboration follows one family’s  evolution over five years of village upheaval. Burnat watches from behind the lens as   olive trees are bulldozed, protests intensify and lives are lost in this cinematic diary and   unparalleled record of life in the West Bank.
