两年半的时间里,电影制片人莲恩·萨克斯通过与在以色列的朋友交换个人信件和照片将发生在中东的暴力事件编写并视觉化为实验电影。她关注的核心是战争,土地,圣经。电影是关于丽薇·奥哈永的故事,一位以色列导演和她的母亲死于一场在靠近约旦河西岸基布兹发生的恐怖行为。不偏袒任何一方也无任何评价,影片对丽薇的故事投入惊人的情感,通过家庭电影,电影片段,新闻报道,访谈和书信进入她的生活。 The core of this haunting meditation on war, land, the Bible, and filmmaking is a portrait of Revital Ohayon, an Israeli filmmaker and mother killed in a terrorist act on a kibbutz near the West Bank. Avoiding easy political polarizations, the film is structured around an exchange of letters between Sachs and her Israeli friend Nir Zats. Together, they reveal Revital's story through her films, news reports, and interviews. With heartbreaking footage of children discussing the violence they've witnessed and an unforgettable visit with Ohayon's grieving family. Without taking sides or casting blame, "States of UnBelonging" becomes a cine-essay on fear and filmmaking, tragedy and transformation, violence and the land of Israel/Palestine.
