Jerusalem airport is laying along the road that links Ramallah to<br />

Jerusalem. Under occupation by the Israeli army since 1967, 5 km<br />

away from Ramallah and 10 km from Jerusalem, the dusty runway<br />

saw growing at its eastern extremity, one of the biggest<br />

checkpoints to access west bank. Nevertheless, it didn’t use to be<br />

so, and this abandoned place today lived, as many international<br />

air terminals of the 50’s-60’s, the pompous life and freedom of<br />

traveling. The happy pictures and luminous testimony of the past<br />

bitterly contrast with those of the present where the air field access<br />

is forbidden, abandoned behind barber wires and soon, behind<br />

the Israelis separation wall.<br />

This film meets this place, and so calls the past to grasp better the<br />

present: a Palestinian society marked by abandonment.<br />

COMPANY : CIRTA FILMS (ALGERIA)<br />

Le 1er novembre 1954, près de Ghassira, un petit village perdu<br />

dans les Aurès, un couple d’instituteurs français et un Caïd<br />

algérien sont les premières victimes civiles d’une guerre de sept<br />

ans qui mènera l’Algérie à l’indépendance.<br />

Plus de cinquante ans après, Malek Bensmaïl revient dans ce<br />

village chaoui, devenu « le berceau de la révolution algérienne »,<br />

pour y filmer au fil des saisons ses habitants, entre présent et<br />

mémoire, mais aussi son école et ses enfants…<br />

Chronique d’une Algérie profonde dont la Chine, terre<br />

symbolique, semble encore lointaine.<br />
