ABOUT THE FILM:

In English, Hebrew, Arabic and Swedish with English subtitles.

ISRAEL PALESTINE ON SWEDISH TV 1958-1989 by archival film maestro Göran Hugo Olsson (THE BLACK POWER MIXTAPE) is assembled from a vast stockpile of footage catalogued in the vaults of Sweden’s national television service SVT, where accounts of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are witnessed and represented by Swedish journalists. Stories of the beginning of the Israeli state are interwoven with the Palestinian struggle for independence. News coverage with Yasser Arafat and interviews with Israeli foreign minister Abba Eban during a visit to Sweden have not been shown since the first broadcast. From the tenth anniversary of Israel’s founding to the First Intifada, perspectives and encounters with statesmen, civilians, revolutionaries, and intellectuals tell the story from myriad angles of an evolving media landscape, revivifying a history of the conflict.
