Crossing Borders
By: Sara
Kremer |
I must
say I am very excited to stand here in front of
you.
I want to thank you from my heart
on the right rapid response to exposure to this
important event even though the weather. I
would like to tell you just a glimpse of the
college and its location.
Sapir
College is located near the border with Gaza, a
distance of 1.5 miles. At the last 8 years, the
college in particular and the whole region in
general suffered from 8150 missiles. All
shipping of a missile the alarm calls of red
color. From the second of the call until the
time the missile has landed we have only 15
seconds.
Can you imagine that?
Try to think about what you can do on - 15
seconds, if at all. In those 15 seconds these
students need to think about their parents if
they are safe on their brothers and sisters that
nothing happened to them and to find the nearest
shelter. If there is no shelter, then surfaces
on the ground and hope for the best.
This
can happen 3-4 times a day and sometimes more.
Do you think this is a logical study
environment possible?
Now I will go
through general data
Sapir College has developed by word of mouth and
against all odds and the place is successful.
Sapir College is one of - 4 major colleges in
Israel, Jerusalem, Haifa, Tel Aviv and Sapir in
the south near the border with Gaza.
Some
important elements are in college:
the Connection to the South - Southern hard day
world - Sderot, Netivot, Dimona, Arad, Ashkelon
and if not for the college were not studying at
all. Realization of Zionism - David Ben Gurion -
making the desert bloom. Students learn
though and despite the missiles Qassam fire and
I would like to remind now the student Roni
Yihye that was killed two years ago.
Department of Film and TV
the Uniqueness of Film and TV School of the
Sapir College is a Third World cinema is not
European and not American. It's the right
place to view the emirates especially important
to young people from the country in general and
the region in particular. The
College through the School of Film and TV weaves
the stories of real heroes.
An ongoing study 3 years is the fourth year
final project of a documentary or feature-length
of about -
20 minutes,
Productions every semester 170.
The students come from a wide variety of
communities and religions, as well as
Palestinians with Israel ID, though their
radical world view.
Sapir Film Festival
Every year it happened always after the
Cannes Film Festival. The Festival has an
image that everyone who enters and participates
in has a worldwide success what is really true.
Some of the movies were nominated to the Oscar
Awards.
Films are projected at only between the place to
discuss and talk about writing, cinematic
retrospective and others. Bring products to
fulfill international plates, lined with
advertising awards.
Despite all, the beam lecturers, students and
residents
of the South see the other side as a basis for a
normal life together.
We can show to the world that we
can live together. Talking through a movie
language
Let us help preserve the mantle of success.
Thank you very much for your patience until the
end of
my words. First I would like to thank - 2 people
really helped bring all of you here. First, the
amazing Ms. Lorraine Cancro and Mr. Henry
Schwartz. Without them we could not raise this
event. Second to Dr. Robert Cancro that agreed
to be keynote speaker at the event.
To Mr.
Matthew Lakenbahc, Mr. Tony Fecora, to Black Tie
Magazine and last but not least to Amos and Guy
from Eden Gallery that contributed to us this
amazing place; because of the excitement I must
have forgotten some of you so please excuse me.
Finally, I want to thank Nachmi the CEO of the
College, and to Avner the head of the film and
TV department that because their faith in Rotem
and me allowed to send us to New York to have
this first event to expose the College to you
through you to other people.
