What drives a young, well-educated Westerner to volunteer as a “peace activist” in the Middle East? Caiomhe Butterly is one of a growing number of volunteers who risk their own safety to intervene in the long-running and bloody conflict between Israel and Palestine. Several internationals, including her, have now been injured. Some have died. In this film, she describes witnessing the aftermath of the attack on Jenin in April 2002. The film follows her work, the main emphasis being “the accompaniment of communities at risk”. Despite being threatened, shot in the leg and deported later that year, she is determined to go back.

Settlements Above the Law
A chilling exposé of the escalating violence and land grabs perpetrated by extremist Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank. The film highlights the growing trend of these settlers establishing illegal "herding outposts," which serve as a pretext for seizing vast tracts of Palestinian land. The documentary traces the surge in violence that followed the devastating attacks on Israel in October 2023. Amidst the chaos and fear, extremist Jewish settlers have exploited the situation to intensify their land-grabbing activities. Eyewitnesses recount harrowing tales of intimidation, harassment, and physical violence perpetrated by these settlers, often under the watchful eye of Israeli security forces.
When New Year Comes on Shabbat
A cinematic collage about people caught between two worlds. An empathetic look at a physical journey and the melodramas of a journey that is spiritual. Nikita Pavlov emigrated from Russia to Israel because he always wanted to experience life in another country. Street protests, political activism, and his daughters first steps are captured without any chronological context, separated only by Pavlovs thoughts and ideas. A cinematic diary that attempts to piece together a hypothetical picture of the filmmakers future.
