The website of the videos..... the feelings and the lives of the people living in Israel....and Palestine

It’s day two at the Input conference in Warsaw and I wanted to share the best project I’ve seen so far. Gaza/Sderot - Life in Spite of Everything is a series of 80 films shot over 40 days — one per day in Gaza and one per day in the town of nearby Sderot. Each is a day-in-the-life style video that follows one of 14 people (seven in each town).

The article is about a project which reports on life as experienced by men, women and children in Gaza (Palestine) and Sderot (Israel) through stories which are being aired on the Internet. Arik Bernstein the Co- Producer of the project tells us about the idea behind this project and its feedback around the world. Recently Gaza-Sderot was nominated for an International Digital Emmy Award in the non-fiction category.

An unusual and original approach to documentary filmmaking is paying off for Gaul's Alexandre Brachet.

Three International Digital Emmy® Awards and the Pioneer Prize will be presented at a Gala Ceremony, on Monday, March 30.

Through these awards, the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is celebrating a significantly growing sector of the television industry and recognize excellence in content created and designed for viewer interaction and/or delivery on a digital platform.

The Pioneer Prize, is not an Emmy® but rather a special initiative from the Academy which honours an industry personality or organisation. Niklas Savander, Member of the Nokia Group Executive Board and EVP, Nokia Services will accept on behalf of the company this prize for its innovative contributions to the field of digital television and video broadcasting on a mobile device.

"We are delighted to accept this prestigious award. As consumers’ digital consumption habits are increasingly going mobile, Nokia and the mobility industry at large is excited by the business opportunity it presents for us together with our content partners." Niklas Savander, Member of the Nokia Group Executive Board and EVP, Nokia Services.

Excellent example of simple but strong use of streaming media on the internet ...more

Two minute videos from everyday for two months. Two minutes from Gaza. Two minutes from Sderot. No politics to dilute the utterly human, very connectable message(s). A keeper. The two months are over generating a total of 160 minutes.

The French-German cultural channel Arte, has produced an excellent television series which shows the human side of the conflict. Well worth viewing.

This is an interesting and moving application of interactive storytelling that will hopefully help break down the barrier separting peaceful, ordinary people

On page 30, Elinor Davidov writes about a 40-episode television documentary called Gaza-Sderot, Life in Spite of Everything. Each episode features an interview with an ordinary person on either side of the border, describing daily life. The result is a fascinating combination of drama and banality that makes each episode worth watching. It was co-produced by a staff from Sderot’s Sapir College, Gaza’s Ramattan Studios and the German-French arte.tv (photos and bio blurbs are here).

The project is a fantastic way to help build empathy for each others story.

And then we quite rightly focus on an web-based video blogging effort called GAZA\SDEROT: Life in Spite of Everything that had been trying, and vows to continue to try, to bring Palestinians and Israelis together with beautifully shot two minute films.

I've come upon an excellent site where you get a real picture of the situation. It's a web documentary on the lives of people on both sides.

If you're interested in getting to know the people of Sderot and of Gaza, I can recommend the Arte project of short films 'Gaza/Sderot - Life in spite of everything' . Many of the people you will see in it (on both sides) have now been forced to leave their homes

Very interesting mashup. Gaza and Sderot. Maps, images, videos daily. http:// gaza-sderot.arte.tv/

As we are getting regular news on the war on the Gaza strip, we may often lack background information. I’d like to share a very good set of small videos on the daily life of 6 peoples in Gaza and Sderot (in Israel, close to the border of the Gaza strip) despite the war situation. It happens to have been broadcast during one month just before the war made the headlines. It is called “Gaza-Sderot”, and it is available here.

In this website http://gaza-sderot.arte.tv/en/#/map/ there are some pin points in a Gaza City map.

thinks you should check this out: http://gaza-sderot.arte.tv/en/ Very, very interesting, and moving.

Recently the French-German cultural television station ARTE undertook a project called Gaza Sderot in which short videos were shot by Israeli and Palestinian teams on a daily basis for two months, following six people from Gaza and six from Sderot. You can see the results here.

Another interesting documentation (a serial) on ARTE.TV where both sides get their voice heard: Gaza and Sderot
