Amos Gitai manages at the Venice Film Festival to make the reflection on the unsustainable Israeli situation resonate deeply, in that space of consciousness to which only art has access. The Road to Jericho, a hybrid documentary that was rushed to be made – “my friend Alberto Barbera encouraged me to speed it up to make it in time for the Biennale” – and that unusually mixes the present, the past, archival material, and the landscapes where all this geographically takes place, resulting in a powerful audiovisual poem about the destinies of humanity.

She did so in the vineyards of the Las Moradas de San Martín winery, in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, where she traveled to stage the region’s recovery after the devastating fires suffered in July.

Ceuta is a pressure cooker. The atmosphere that permeated this Wednesday’s massive mobilization against the crisis management suggests it could explode. Thousands of Ceutans, with the Spanish flag as a common denominator, gathered late in the afternoon in front of the Government Delegation – where the sole commander, Minister Ángel Víctor Torres, was located – to clamor for their city, “which is not for sale, but defended.” Weariness is giving way to anger. Concern to exasperation. “Invaders [referring to the immigrants who entered in an avalanche], expulsion,” chanted the majority. “Go get them,” shouted the minority, while running after some North Africans who are still wandering the streets.
