synopsis
Israel Palestine on Swedish Television 1958–1989 (a new film from the makers of The Black Power Mixtape 1967–1975 and Om våld) is comprised of unique and visually striking footage from perhaps the most comprehensive archive in the world depicting both sides of the conflict: the Swedish Television archives. Challenging and changing the conventions of how history is written, the film demonstrates how one country’s media perceived one of the world’s longest conflict.
director's statement
This is by far the most painful film that I—we—have ever done. While the material has been an absolute delight to work with—beautiful images with incredibly interesting characters mixed with human testimonies and geopolitical events—the course of history becomes increasingly agonising. We have really tried to show respect to both the originators of the footage and the participants, with the perhaps outmoded intent to promote notions such as peace and understanding.
