Five Broken Cameras

Masahat Screens 2024 will present films from the Arab world that explore themes of protest, life under occupation and the struggles of life in exile, with a second part focusing on films from Sudan.
The Palestinian farmer Emad buys his first camera in 2005, when his fourth son is born. The family lives in the village of Bil'in, where over the years Israeli settlements occupy larger and larger parts of the land. The camera captures the son's upbringing, surrounded by bulldozers, soldiers and ever-higher walls.
5 Broken Cameras is a deeply personal film about citizens questioning non-violent ideals in the struggle against an oppressive regime. Through Emad's camera lens, we follow the family and the village's demonstrations over five dramatic years.
This screening is presented by Masahat in collaboration with Oslo Dokumentarkino.
