Program Note
This is the latest work by Iranian master Mohsen Makhmalbaf, who has long been interested in the political issues of Afghanistan. To examine the deteriorating relations between Palestine and Israel following the Hamas attack on October 7, the director walks into the heart of Jerusalem, a city that has been a holy site for Judaism, Islam, and Christianity for centuries, where tension and hatred have become a daily reality. Even though Jews and Muslims live in the same building, they do not communicate with each other and occasionally attack one another. However, the residents, from their respective positions and perspectives, ponder solutions for coexistence and peace between Muslims and Jews. The film captures the grim atmosphere of the city and the voices of its inhabitants without exaggeration, while also showing that the future of the city lies with the bright-eyed children who currently cannot play together. It is a fine piece that affirms the power and role of the camera in capturing reality. (JO Ji-hoon)
