Clearly intended as a repudiation of Operation Raise the Colours, Sadiq Khan's New Year's fireworks in London lectured us on what "the real England" means. It was painfully predictable, says Clarissa Hard.

Some dismiss the current wave of nostalgia as mere rose-tinted 'shitstalgia'. But in a world that only ever seems to get worse, people are right to yearn for the simple comforts of yesteryear, says Andy Simpson.

[Limerick] Film Screening: Five Broken Cameras (Israeli Apartheid Week 2013)

category limerick | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice author Wednesday February 13, 2013 16:24author by IPSC - IPSC Report this post to the editors

A deeply personal, first-hand account of non-violent resistance in a West Bank village threatened by encroaching Israeli settlements. shot almost entirely by Emad Burnat, a Palestinian farmer, the Oscar nominated FIVE BROKEN CAMERAS is an extraordinary work of both cinematic and political activism.

The screening will take place as part of Israeli Apartheid Week 2013 in Pery’s Hotel, Glentworth Street in Limerick City Centre on Wednesday 27th February. The film starts at 8pm.

It’s a sad reality for Burnat that one of the first phrases mastered by his toddler son Gibreel, is “the wall”. Burnat has the misfortune to be living in the Palestinian village of Bil’in, which Israeli settlers, protected by an aggressive Israeli army, are attempting to make their own.

Although he first bought a camera to film his family, he also begins recording the increasingly chaotic scenes taking place in the beautiful landscape outside his house. When his camera is shot or smashed, he moves onto another one. Five years eventually yields five broken cameras, giving the film its title and chapter structure.

Although he never planned to be a film-maker, Burnat proves to be both a brave and an extraordinary one, keeping his camera rolling amidst frightening scenes of unpredictable aggression, often aimed at himself, in a film richly deserving of its many awards.
