THIS WAY UP (London premiere)
Georgi Lazarevski— France—2007—60m—video—doc
In Arabic with English subtitles

Just east of Jerusalem lies the formerly bucolic Our Lady of Pains, a  
senior citizens' home for Palestinians. A few metres from the front  
door rises the grimly spectacular and unavoidable wall of separation,  
whose unstoppable progression gradually isolates the seniors from  
their children's visits, the outside world, even from the very staff  
that attends to them. With beautiful imagery, contemplative pacing,  
moments of laughter, and brilliant use of a quietly humorous 'guide'— 
a memorable character with a trademark knitted cap, weathered  
expressive face, and savouring appreciation for smoking—filmmaker  
Lazarevski has fashioned a film whose political message grows like an  
approaching thundercloud.

Preceded by: OPEN HEART (London premiere)
Claire Fowler-London/Palestine-2006-22m-video-doc
In Arabic and English with English subtitles

An emotional journey highlighting the plight of the struggling  
Palestinian healthcare system under occupation. Palestinian couple  
Iham and Jihad's baby son's life is threatened by congenital heart  
disease. A charity offers the possibility of lifesaving surgery in

through Israeli checkpoints, before the real journey can even begin…
