The Inner Tour
Series: Israel at 60 [May 28 - June 5]
Director: Ra’anan Alexandrowicz, Country: Israel, Release: 2001, Runtime: 94

“"Fascinating...[A] deeply involving yet unpretentious film that raises a human interest story to the level of revelation." — J. Hoberman, The Village Voice

What should be ordinary—a group of tourists visiting their homeland—becomes extraordinary when these tourists are Palestinians from the West Bank visiting Israel on a three-day bus trip. To the deeply conflicted tourists, the country is at once familiar and foreign, threatening and thrilling. Jerusalem-born filmmaker Ra'anan Alexandrowicz (Martin) began this Israeli/Palestinian collaboration in the hope of beginning a dialogue between two alienated peoples.

Photographed months before escalating violence closed the borders, The Inner Tour instead describes Israel through Palestinian eyes to, as Alexandrowicz put it, ”help people understand why reconciliation is not necessarily possible, right here, right now.” Screened in New Directors/New Films 2002.
