The pride

Another Israeli movie was published at the Berlin movie festival. A month ago "Ajami" become the 3rd sequential Oscar foreign movie nominee ("Boufort" was nominee in 2008 and "Waltz with Bashir" was nominee in 2009) and "Phobidilia" was screened at Berlin a week ago.

This week another movie got some publicity. "Burdus" is a documentary movie of the small Palestinian movie who tells the story of the wall building and its consequences.

The reviewers said it is a very complete and neutral movie which shows the situation as it is. The producer of the movie (Ronit Avni) said she was surprised to be asked about how Israelies and Palestinians cooperate and how come not all Israelies use guns to solve problems.

The Israeli films are extremely important to the expression of the public opinion about political issues. During the last few years there is a struggle between the Industry and politicians who believes the films leads viewers to hate Israel while the industry, supported by other politicians, claims that showing the truth will get Israel close to other countries.

And well, we just need to sit down and enjoy good and entertaining movies :)
