#documentary / The Great Book Robbery: Chronicles of cultural destruction (2012)

This is the director-cut of the version broadcast by #AlJazeera English, and is 10 minutes longer.

“Farewell my library! Farewell mansion of wisdom, temple of philosophers, institute of science, council house of literature!” ~ Khalil al-Sakakini

The story of 70,000 Palestinian books that were looted by the newly created State of Israel in 1948. The film interweaves various storylines into a structure that is both dramatically compelling and emotionally unsettling. The interviews centre on eyewitness accounts and cultural critiques that place the book theft affair in a larger historical-cultural context; in the process, new light is shed on the Palestinian tragedy of 1948 and the moralistic-heroic Israeli narrative of the 1948 war is deconstructed.

57 minutes, documentary, 2007-2012, Hebrew, English, and Arabic with English subtitles
