État commun - Conversation potentielle (1) (2013)
Beyond everything that has been written, filmed, or photographed about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Etat Commun - Conversation potentielle (1) offers an original and new way of presenting a revolutionary concept. Twenty years after the Oslo Accords, "the two-state solution" has reached an impasse. The concept of a common state proposes that the notion of the partition of territory should be abandoned in favor of shared space. Through the medium of montage, an encounter that this conflict has prevented for so long can at last take place. Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs from Israel, the Occupied Territories or the diaspora, political and activist leaders, refugees and settlers, young and old, academics and artists : the sons and daughters of this country, which spreads between Jordan and the sea, come together for a potential conversation. One speaks, the other listens.

I Love You All (2004)
A film on the surveillance and the control in East Germany also speaks about it - representing extreme and almost unbelievable image of a society which has acquired one super-narrative and developed a system which makes it impossible to even speak about the possibility of anything outside it.

Izkor: Slaves of Memory (1991)
Izkor is about the orchestration of memory. The film shows how school children of all ages in Israel are taught to pay tribute to their nation's past. It keenly observes how some memories are even physically conditioned into the future generations. "One of the most truly, most intelligent, most terrible and sharpest films about Israeli society. A film on memory and politics: this is the way that Israeli society exploits its myths to train people to have no doubts or remorse, creating the soldiers of the future wars." (Tom Segev - Haaretz)

Jerusalem(s), Borderline Syndrome (1995)
"This iconoclastic film, midway between fiction and documentary, explores the "over-sacred" side of Jerusalem. A political gamble for its inhabitants, a myth for its visitors, Jerusalem remains a universal object of desire that borders on fetishism. The film takes its inspiration from the Jerusalem Syndrome, a psychiatric syndrome, officially recognised in the 19th century, and from which the pilgrims and tourists that visited the Holy City suffered. A camera visits Jerusalem looking for a new approach to show the city. In parallel a young boy wanders the streets and discovers one night a prostitute with golden breasts. The boy, as does the camera, becomes a victim of a violently feminine Jerusalem." - DAfilms

Dialogues of Exile
Like Zifel and Kalle, the German Jewish refugees in Bertolt Brecht’s Refugee Conversations (1940), from which this project is inspired, Fadi and Rami also live in exile. They are however Syrian-Lebanese and live in 2021 in a European city on the shore of the Mediterranean. When they meet for the frst time at the bufet of the ferry terminal, they engage in a conversation without introduction. What follows is a series of unexpected meetings and unforeseen discussions in which everyday life and political considerations, the individual and the general, are approached sometimes with irony mixed with melancholy, and other times with the play of paradox. On the backdrop of the so-called «migration crisis in Europe», Fadi and Rami freely discuss a variety of topics. Their of-the-cuf exchanges often come back to the cause of their exile: the post-colonial war. Exile, as we know, sharpens the mind. With dialectic and humor, they chat about all kinds of things.

Aqabat Jaber: Passing Through (1987)
Aqabat-Jaber is one of the sixty Palestinian refugee camps built in the Middle East by the UN at the beginning of the 1950s. Filmed in 1987, a few months before the Intifada, this film tells the story of a disinherited generation brought up in the nostalgia of places they never knew and which no longer exist. The story of a temporary solution that became a permanent way of life.
