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.<br /> <br /> 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.

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.

Open Heart Open Heart

Director: Claire Fowler

Year: 2007

Four years ago Iham and Jihad lost their third child on the operating table. Now their nine-month-old son Jamal's life is threatened by congenital heart disease, for which no affordable treatment is available. With the aid of the charity The Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF), a British surgeon's arrival in Palestine offers hope for the future. But first the Samara family must travel from their home in the West Bank and through Israeli checkpoints to Makassed hospital in Jerusalem, before the real journey can even begin. <br /> <br /> An emotional journey that highlights the plight of the struggling Palestinian health care system under occupation, from the perspective of doctor, patient and humanitarian organisation.
