Checkpoint / Machssomim Series: Israel at 60 [May 28 - June 5] Director: Yoav Shamir, Country: Israel, Release: 2003, Runtime: 80 Over three million Palestinians live in the occupied territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Scattered throughout the region are dozens of checkpoints where Israeli soldiers detain Palestinians trying to get home, visit relatives or receive medical treatment. Israeli documentary filmmaker Yoav Shamir filmed at various checkpoints from 2001 to 2003, and the images are a powerful testament to the impasses that have been created. A young Israeli soldier describes his job as "putting on a show." At times, that is how the encounters between top dog and underdog appear. The guards inconvenience, humiliate and otherwise make the desperate, defensive pilgrims as uncomfortable as possible. The Palestinians, in turn, are obedient, reproachful, imploring, and belligerent. "Terrorists don't come through checkpoints," one man insists as he is turned away. This extraordinary documentary is a chilling look at the destructive impact of the enforced boundaries on both societies. Screened in New Directors/New Films 2004.
