Project Detail

Portrait As

Synopsis

A visual portrait of the disabled avant-garde filmmaker Stephen Dwoskin, as represented by his environment. The film is a very personal movement through Steve's past and present, as seen through the house he has lived in for the last 30 years and the objects within it that both surround and represent him - as an individual living with a disability, and as an artist-filmmaker who has enjoyed a long and successful career.

Beit Iksa is considered the closest West Bank village to Israel, yet it lies between two Israeli settlements that are built on Palestinian land, the separation wall, and is accessed via a checkpoint. The Israelis who reside in both the settlements insist they live in Israeli Jerusalem, yet between them is Beit Iksa, an Arab village situated in occupied Palestine. Home is a portrait of that tiny village, exploring the indignities and contradictions of Israeli occupation. From the perspective of both Arab villager, and Israeli settler.
