"The Color of Olives"
Director: Carolina Rivas / 97 minutes / 2006
"With its contemplative tone and haunting images, The Color of Olives may be the most peaceful documentary ever to arrive from a war zone."- New York Times
From Mexican director Carolina Rivas and cinematographer Daoud Sarhandi comes this elegant and visually breathtaking new film about the Palestinian experience. The Amer family lives surrounded by the infamous West Bank Wall, where their daily lives are dominated by electrified fences, locked gates and a constant swarm of armed soldiers.
This unique and intimate documentary shares their private world, allowing a glimpse of the constant struggles and the small, endearing details that sustain them. The Color Of Olives is an artistic and beautifully affecting reflection on the effects of racial segregation, the meaning of borders and the absurdity of war.

"Secret Hebron: The School Run"
Director: Donna Baillie / 28 minutes / 2003
This film reveals the plight of young Palestinian children in the West Bank city of Hebron who regularly risk being attacked by Israeli soldiers as they try to go to school each morning. The film shows kids scrabbling across the roofs of buildings in an effort to avoid the soldiers below.
"Jerusalem: The East Side Story"
Director: Mohammed Alatar / 57 minutes / 2008
The latest shipment of history in Jerusalem is the Israeli occupation. In 1948, the western part of the city fell under Israeli control; in 1967, the eastern part fell under Israeli occupation. Since then, Israel has pursued a policy of Judaizing the city, aiming to achieve “Jewish demographic superiority.” Part of this policy is to drive Palestinian Muslims and Christians out of the city; denying their presence, history, and ties to the land. Jerusalem: The East Side Story takes you on a journey exposing Israel’s policy to gain supremacy and hegemony over the city and its inhabitants.
