Budrus is a Village which found itself on the route of the Israeli 'Separation Barrier' The film cronicles the struggle against the communities destruction. What is extrodinary about this story is that the activists unite Hamas, Fatah and israeli supporters in an inspiring non-violent movement which continus to this day. Thus film will be shown with the short Gaza On My Mind by Fathi Jaouadi following Musheir El-Farra's expedition with 44 peace activists from 17 countries in the attempt to break the siege of the Gaza Strip using two small and rusty boats. Hopefully Musher El-Farra will be present to talk about his experience.

To shoot an Elephant , a film by Alberto Arce and Mohammed Rujaila, is an eyewitness account from the Gaza strip during the Israeli embargo. The film shot between December 25 2008 and Jan 16 2009, 21 days of urgent, insomniac dirty shuddering images from the only foreigners who decided and managed to stay in Gaza, embedded with the ambulance workers who pick up the wounded and dead from the streets. The film takes its title form an essay by George Orwell denouncing colonial politics.
