A thousand and one days

Etoile SCAM 2007

Le Nouvel Observateur: “A Thousand and One Days is not just another documentary on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but an original, intelligent film essay. Another way of telling the story, another way of seeing the conflict. Part documentary, part fiction, Frédéric Laffont's film is full of hope. A luminous message of peace.

 

Synopsis: “Isn't this the best role cinema can play in this conflict?

 

Le Point: “One of our best political documentary filmmakers attempts to ‘un-witch’ the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (...) An atypical, gripping film, to be shown in all schools.”

 

Studio: “A Thousand and One Days is unlike any other documentary. Far from any angelism, this work, both poetic and brutal, deserves your full attention. Fascinating.”

 

Les nouvelles Fiches du cinéma: “F.Laffont strives to render the daily reality of these men and women, without bias. In the name of humanity. A look filled with accuracy, respect and dignity.”

What can I tell you? The stone, the chariot, the olive trees being felled? Of course I'll tell you...

I'll also tell you stories, faces and hope: a thousand and one paths that will lead to peace. One day.

Night shines for a moment, then it's day again.
