Coming to PBS’s POV this Monday, August 26: 5 BROKEN CAMERAS
Emad Burnat and Guy Davidi’s personal and visceral experience of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict debuted at IDFA in 2011, where it won two awards. It came stateside at Sundance last year, picking up the World Cinema Documentary Directing Award. The doc’s fest circuit included New Directors/New Films, Thessaloniki Documentary, Traverse City, Human Rights Watch, Vancouver, Dharamshala, and Hot Docs, among others. It was one of the five nominees for the Best Documentary Feature Oscar this year.
My pre-Sundance profile of the doc may be found here.
