Palestine in fragments

Dominique Dubosc 2007 docu 88 min.

Dominique Dubosc's documentary film is a unique and unforgettable
meditation which disrupts any separation between art and documentary
filmmaking from the first frame and continues to surprise throughout. Using
images (stills, video, landscapes, interviews, architectures) shot between
2001 and 2007, the director assembles a series of chapters which move
between impressionistic studies of unusual spaces and structures observed
in the occupied Palestinian territories, to informal interviews in which
the narratives of Palestinians in the West Bank are presented unadorned. In
one chapter, urban and landscape imagery is seen in stark black and white
photographs, highlighting destruction and constructed obstruction as
indelible markers of the West Bank occupation's visual language. In
another, an unusual game of basketball carries in it both a routinised
surrealism and a horrifying truth... Palestine in Fragments promises to
intrigue and amuse as without shying away from the often brutral realities
it records.
