JAFFA, THE ORANGE'S
CLOCKWORK
by Eyal
Sivan
Documentary, 2009,
88 min.
Director will be present.
The Jaffa orange is the
starting point for this extraordinary contemplation on the relationship
between Israelis and Palestinians.
According to one review:
“It’s hard to measure the artistic and political reach of Jaffa,
the Orange’s Clockwork, because
it works in different layers, as a genealogy of the image and
representation–through paintings, home movies, propaganda,
testimonies–or even as a chronicle of the contemporary spirit. Not so
much a film, as an unavoidable experience. A powerful and unforgettable
film."

“This
is contemporary oud playing at its finest inventive, quixotic and
arresting–and it should appeal equally both to die-hard lute-ophiles and
those approaching Arab music for the first time.”—Songlines
Direct descendants from a Palestinian family of ‘oud makers
and players for four generations, Le Trio Joubran creates intricate and
seductively eloquent original compositions that are filled with
magnificent improvisation and technical virtuosity. For this exceptional
concert, the three brothers Samir, Wissam and Adnan along with master
percussionist Yousef Hbeisch, perform a special tribute to late
Palestinian
poet Mahmoud
Darwish,
with whom the trio collaborated for more than 12 years. |
