17th day report: the Other's writing

November 14, 2006

This morning we edited a second version of Mariam, the War dream.
According to the suggestion of ZalabTv Barcellona we kept all Mariam's speach, but instead of seeing her while she speaks, we see her land with her.
We think this version works better than the first one.
Even if it's an interview, this editing way leaves more room to a dreamy dimension.

In the afternoon we started to edit the Sea Fiction.

Then, we discussed about the subject: the Others.
Due to the situation, Palestinians, when they discuss about "the others", usually mean people living really close to them - and really far ideed: the Israelis.
People that share the same land, but with whom they do not talk, because of the conflict.
The idea that came out for this dream is to tell the love story between a Palestinian and an Israelian. Man and woman that, against societies and the families will, got married.

For whatì about the Religion dream, they decided to tell us the story of Nave Samuel, a small village near Biddu, where there is a holy place that is a mosque and a church in the same time.
All around this place there are soldiers, and barbed wire.
Through a work mainly based on observation, we would like to show the strong contrast between the sacrality of the place and the presence of weapons.

When everybody got to the center, we discussed about what we are doing, what we have done and what we still have to do.

We set up a timetable, in order to have all six main projects ready before the second half of January.

That leaves time to the guys to develope some ideas they came out with during the discussions, but that we couldn't work on.
About the War subject we decided to develope another film about different uses of the wall.
For what's about the Time, the guys want to carry on with the interview's idea: "If you have just one hour left to live, what would you do?!"
For the dream The Others we suggested that it can be interesting trying to work on people abroad, but that are part of our same project.


Today last day, hope the eletricity is not gonna run off this evening too!
