5 Broken Cameras (2011)
Director: Emad Burnat, Guy Davidi
90 minutes
Arabic, Hebrew; Turkish subtitles
In 2005, Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat buys a camera to document his son’s birth and childhood. The same year, Israel begins the construction of the Israeli West Bank barrier to separate Burnat’s village, Bil’in, from the Jewish settlement, Modi’in Illit. The locals revolt against the settlers as their farmlands are bulldozed and damaged by the construction. Later, the protests are joined by international activists, and Burnat starts to document them. However, his cameras get broken while he records the protests. Over a five-year period, it takes five cameras to record the turmoil in his hometown. In 2009, Burnat approaches Israeli filmmaker Guy Davidi to create a documentary from the footage recorded on these broken cameras.
Chronicling a family’s evolution over the course of non-violent resistance in Bil’in, 5 Broken Cameras weaves together personal stories with the collective while reflecting on filmmaking itself and its relation to political activism. The film won the World Cinema Documentary Directing Award at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012 and was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 85th Academy Awards in 2013.
Following the Walk-in Cinema screening on Saturday, April 27 at 15.00, the film will be streamed at saltonline.org between April 29-May 5. The film will be streamed in its original language with Turkish subtitles, and can only be accessed online by audiences in Turkey.
