Bitton uses no traditional voice-over, just interviews with people living on both sides of the wall, explaining what has happened. In WALL, documentary filmmaker Simone Bitton uses her dual Jewish and Arab heritage to examine the wall that is destroying one of the most historically significant landscapes in the world, while imprisoning one people and enclosing the other. It screened at Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight and won three prizes this year: the GRAND PRIX at the Marseilles Documentary Festival, BEST FILM at the Jerusalem Film Festival and the GRAND PRIX FOR BEST FILM at the Pesaro Film Festival. |
