The film Open Bethlehem is a story of Leila Sansour’s homecoming to the town. The film spans seven momentous years in the life of Bethlehem, revealing a city of astonishing beauty and political strife under occupation.
Film director Leila Sansour returns to Bethlehem to make a film about her home town, soon to be encircled by a wall. She left the city as a teenager thinking that Bethlehem was too small and provincial. She never wanted to return but this time she is making an exception. She intends her film to be a tribute to her late father, founder of Bethlehem University, and a man regarded as a hero by his town’s folk. As Bethlehem approaches ruin her decision to flee this sleepy town, taken much to her father’s regret, comes to haunt her.
Director and Writer: Leila Sansour

This is a 94-minute documentary film co-directed by Emad Burnat and Guy Davidi. “5 Broken Cameras” is a first-hand account of the protests in Bil’in. The documentary was shot almost entirely by Emad Burnat, a Palestinian farmer, who bought his first camera in 2005 to record the birth of his youngest son. Structured around the destruction of Burnat’s cameras by the IDF, the filmmakers’ collaboration follows one family’s evolution over five years of turmoil. An amazing documentary not to be missed.
The film won a 2012 Sundance Film Festival award, it won the Golden Apricot at the 2012 Yerevan International Film Festival, Armenia, for Best Documentary Film, won the 2013 International Emmy Award, and was nominated for a 2012 Academy Award – no surprise that it did not win. Despite these commendation and in contrast other independent cinemas in the north of England, Manchester’s Corner House Cinema was not prepared to show it.
