Notes to Eternity (2016)
excellent film
Under the superb direction of Sarah Cordery, who is also the producer and script writer, this is an exceptional film, not only for the viewpoints of Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein, Sara Roy, Robert Fisk and local Palestinian Moussa Abu Hash Hash, but for the way we meet each character in a personal way. This is not a series of stark interviews but an insight into the feelings of each about the Israel-Palestine issue. There is anger, compassion and humour. There is a human touch as we visit each at home and at work. It is rare to see a documentary that has so much warmth.
Cinematographer Alun Bollinger brilliantly focuses not only on the personality of each character but on place, both local and distant - from Beirut and Hebron to New York and Edinburgh.
Ant Sang's animation adds another dimension that makes this film a 'must-see'.
Highly recommended.
