Sunday, July 20 UNSETTLED 4:00 PM, Little Theatre Adam Hootnick, 2006, 80 min., US, English/Hebrew with English subtitles Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the 2007 Slamdance Film Festival, UNSETTLED presents the historic 2005 withdrawal from the Gaza Strip through the eyes of six young people. Three are settlers determined to stay. Two are soldiers with different feelings about the order to evict Jews from their homes. One is an activist. These twenty-something surfers, soldiers and settlers are barely out of their adolescence, and yet they occupy center stage in a national drama as both the vanguard resisting the eviction, and the soldiers executing it. Director Adam Hootnick worked for MTV News prior to shooting UNSETTLED on his own. The driving narrative style and songs by Matisyahu propel this dramatic story forward, as a generation in its twenties faces a defining moment. GUEST: Filmmaker Adam Hootnick expected to attend. Generously underwritten by The Norry Family. Back to FILM FESTIVAL SCHEDULE » |
