18th day report - end of the first step

Report
15 november 2006

Last day of the workshop!
Today first step of zaLab TV gets to an end.
Next step will be three months of video production both in Palestine and in Tunisia.
In order to have second step fully organized, today we wrote the two dreams left, The Other and Religion. Here is the development of the two ideas:


The others
We choose Riad and his wife story in order to speak about the others because this story shows the relationship between a young man, with Palestinian culture, and a young girl, with Israelian culture. Their story shows the relationship between these two different ways of life and how they converged in a family.

Characters:
Riad is a Palestinian man born in Jerusalem.
When he was young he used to go to work in Shoresh, near Tel Aviv.
There, one day, in a LunaPark, his head knocked on a wall and he fainted.
A young girl helped him and he felt in love with her.
They had to struggle for their love.
Now they live togheter in Katanna, north Jerusalem.
His wife was a Jew born in Russian.
When she was young she travelled with her family to an Israeli settlement, near Tel Aviv.
There she met her husband, Riad. Since she decided to marry him she became Muslim against her family and all the society will.

Synopsis
When she was young, and she was still in Russia, she had a dream:
an arabic man with a white horse, came and ask her to become his wife.
This his the beginning of our interview.
In the interview we want to ask them how they met, and where.
The reaction the two families and the societies had when they decided to get married.
And how they get to build this peaceful family.

Language
The idea is to show how these two persons, coming from different cultures and religions now are an happy family.
In the main scene the two of them will be shooted togheter.
Particulars of their house will also give us an idea of the place where they live.
We are gonna use two cameras, on trypod.
The first will give us the idea of the family, with the two of them and , if possible, their son.
The second camera, on their side, will shoot just one or the other, while they will be speaking.
After the interview we will shoot them while they are inside their house, doing something or just listening, and we will also ask them to show us some photographs of their life, in orther to shoot them.
We will shoot also particular aspect of their house, in order to show different aspect of their culture.


Religion's dream


Navi Samuel is a small Palestinian village in north-east of Jerusalem surrounded by Israelian settlements. Here there is a holy place splited into two parts: one mosque for Muslim, one church for Jewsh. All around this place there is barbed wire and soldiers at the entrance. Every person that want to go inside has to pass a controll.
We want to make people aware of this situation, similar to many others alla round Palestine.
Make them wonder: "why all this?!".

Synopsis
The film is an observative documentary. Holy images and images of the conflict mixed togheter. The minareto vs the wall, Koran engraving vs the barbed wire. Soldiers at the entrance don't let people in. The contrast between sacrality and war becomes more and more incisive. Stiff and absurd situation.
