A film by Marcus Vetter
Cinema Jenin is an enlightening documentary account of a tightrope evasion of political, cultural and economic obstacles to resurrect a decrepit Palestinian cinema. A German journalist and film maker fronts a passionate team that collectively envisage its return to former glory. Navigating the divisive politically charged interests of a nation still in turmoil with its neighbour, Marcus’s dream is a dangerous but endearing one. This illuminating study of an important international aid project is powerful viewing, a tribute to the inspiring and energising magic of art and culture. Screening as part of Bristol Palestine Film Festival, 2013 http://www.bristolpff.org.uk.
