> 1.* *Fifteen years* *after the end of the Second World War, SS Colonel
> Adolf Eichmann was captured in Argentina, where he was living and working
> under a false name, by Mossad agents and taken to Israel for trial. Leo
> Hurwitz, an American leftist film-maker was hired to record the Eichmann
> trial, which he did using four concealed cameras. In 1991, when filmmaker
> Eyal Sivan inquired about the footage, he was told that it didn't exist. In
> 1999, Sivan and Rony Brauman put together this 128-minute film, disrupting
> the chronology of the trial and highlighting instead its tone and
> environment, from over 300 hours of the recorded footage they were able to
> access (one third of which had decayed by then).
>
> 2. At the request of the PLO, "The Dziga Vertov Group" shot footage of the
> Palestinian resistance in 1970. They were only able to edit the footage and
> make the film *Ici et Ailleurs *(Here and Elsewhere) in 1974, and
> retaining "only five shots" from the original material.
> "In 1970, this film was called Victory. In 1974, this film is called Here
> and Elsewhere. And elsewhere. And..."
>
> "For it’s in the nature of cinema (delay between the time of shooting and
> the time of projection) to be the art of here and elsewhere. What Godard
> says, very uncomfortably and very honestly, is that the true place of the
> filmmaker is in the AND. A hyphen only has value if it doesn’t confuse what
> it unites."
