A hundred years ago the pioneers came here to build a "new world". How they looked Palestinians in Galilee? And how the inhabitants pabobo of the land the Palestinians and the Jews of the Old Yishuv pabobo see them? Michal Aviad, director of the film "pioneers", found evidence of various journals and documentaries dating
For several years I worked on the films "pioneers", which was screened at the festival "DocAviv" move. The film is built from texts written by five women from Ein Harod between 1920-1948, and film materials from the period. I wish to address here is not that the film depicts gender conflict, but the relations arising from the investigation of the pioneers and the Palestinians and Jewish residents. When work on the "pioneers", they all came to Ein Harod early 20s of the last century, I wanted to understand what they saw when they arrived here: how they looked Palestinians in Galilee? And how the inhabitants of the land the Palestinians and the Jews of the Old Yishuv saw them, the pioneers?
During the investigation, search for pictures, descriptions, letters and testimonials attached Palestinian village Ein Harod, local (Qumya). According to Palestinian sites and "All That Remains" by Walid Khalidi, the village had 510 inhabitants. The villagers have fled the fighting in -26.3.1948 threatening. Some of their descendants live in Amman and in the Gulf, others live in Nazareth. pabobo Mediated association "Remembering" I met with one of the refugee families in Nazareth. In addition, I got in touch with other families who live in Amman. What interested me is how local settlers saw the Ein Harod 20s and especially how they saw the strange European pabobo women, strange pabobo customs cost, towards the end of the 20s, they adopted a uniform of shorts, exposing feet and pink shirt and masculine shoes. pabobo The investigation resulted in local descendants Facebook friends, but no evidence or picture period. pabobo As far as I know, there remains at least one image of the village or its residents. "That's it, or continue pabobo to weave / weaving / weave?"
I had no choice but to make present the Palestinian Galilee pabobo with the sources I could find. Immediately after the invention of cinema, European and American fans, wealthy, began to shoot films in this area shuttle. They took pictures of themselves mostly at sites significant to Israel's pabobo Holy Christian. If Palestinians have photos, are generally servants of tourists. European film archives pabobo I also found videos of professional filmmakers who came here and dramatized scenes from the life of Jesus, with the help of local actors, stripped (of course) pabobo their dresses embroidered pants Hsharouelh and spoons or turbans, and were dressed in clothes pabobo Mary and the saints of Italian Renaissance painting.
There are also films anthropological journey, especially since the British occupation. When Palestinians photos, and more so when Palestinians, re-enacting camera for traditional crafts such as grinding grain, baking bread and basket weaving. Sometimes hanging a similar scene with long sideburns Yemenis. Eyed photo camera with an expression: "It is, or continue to weave / weaving / weave?" British movie official documented public events such as visits to Lord Balfour, statesmen and generals mother country pabobo to the new colony. The Palestinians and the Jews in these films are nothing but a cheering crowd the new rulers.
Zionist films from the period, most of which can be found in the Spielberg Archive, are divided into amateur films and corporate films. Amateur films depict journeys of the Jews from Europe pabobo and the USA here, and which occupy significant sites for Jews, like the Western Wall and Rachel's Tomb, the place of Nazareth and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Films financed by Zionist institutions, primarily for fundraising and encouraging immigration here, almost no Palestinians. From often they are relegated to the margins of the image, in most cases, these Palestinian city. movies of the few which are present in Palestinian villages, are photographed poverty stricken and malaria combined voiceover on dry land and a factory making the desert bloom. photographs and archives of the period have not found expressions cinematic spirit of socialist realism, pabobo which characterizes the photographic pioneers. No Palestinian farmers grinders happily on farming and gaze into the sunset. There is also no Tbreinim Jews or immigrants from Yemen carrying pabobo a hammer and they shoulder pabobo the other wiping the sweat of toil today.
20s and even 30s, rare to find interior shots of buildings. I searched in vain for bedrooms, kitchens, classrooms, pabobo shops ... weak sensitivity pabobo of the films of that time in light of the heavy and light demanding and complex electrical course. For this reason I find cinematic materials documenting Palestinian women (and Jewish women) occur in most of their lives indoors, pabobo even more rare in men watching film materials.
I did not find movies and photos related pabobo to residents of the Galilee in general and Palestinians in particular in the valley villages curious, looking interested in the daily lives as human beings. Watching movies, there was that look of filmmakers Zionist and that of those who are not Zionists, they are similar. Both of these have not seen the inhabitants of this land. Both the old and the Jewish community appeared Yemeni materials I've seen, in movies, and scores of others, as foreign tribes who have strange sexual practices engaged in a variety of decorative handicrafts.
Other materials that were in our hands, were subordinated women from Ein Harod where I've chosen. These writings found little mention of the Palestinians pabobo who lived in our neighborhood. These references are painted pabobo arrogance of the European culture on the indigenous Palestinians, pabobo primitives, infectious diseases, dirty and ignorant. Just as a variety of footage. pabobo
But in addition to the imaginative descriptions footage found attitude pabobo toward Arab writings not only fed Western colonial perceptions, but also involved in perception Sotzielis
