"Jerusalem Moments" - Ir Amim at the Jerusalem Film Festival, July 13 2008 19:00-21:30, Beit Shmuel

Ten Israeli and Palestinian directors, ten small moments of a different Jerusalem, Ten movies that provides a different and complex viewpoint on the Israeli - Palestinian conflict in Jerusalem and asking questions about the city's future.
 
"Jerusalem Moments" was born to examine retroactively the 40 some years of "reunification" of Jerusalem and to offer a personal perspective on the complexities of life between the city's eastern and western sectors. Out of the need to awaken public debate and to offer a different voice - a voice that calls for an open, frank and brave outlook - the work presents the daily life of another Jerusalem, one unfamiliar to the public at large: its hidden streets, cityscapes, and inhabitants.
 
Professional Advisors: Yael Perlov, Yosef Grunfeld, Judd Neémman, Yigal Bursztyn, Gal Uchovsky

Press for the Peace of Jerusalem? Israeli Media Coverage of the Jerusalem Issue

A report by Keshev and Ir Amim, designed to point out the behaviour of the media in their coverage of the issue of Jerusalem in relation to the Annapolis conference. The story of Jerusalem as reflected in the behavior of the main media outlets in Israel is a collection of events taking place in various places, devoid of the necessary contexts and lacking an overall framework. The absence of an "overall picture" makes it difficult for media consumers to understand the complex subject called "the Jerusalem issue." For report summary


Forty-one years following the “unification" of Jerusalem, 78% of Israeli citizens believe that Jerusalem is, in actuality, divided.

A poll conducted for Ir Amim by the New Wave survey institution, April 2008. For further details (in Hebrew)
