一九五四年十月一日，以法属阿尔及利亚首都阿尔及耳的卡斯巴为中心，爆发了阿尔及利亚人反抗运动。这是由于阿拉伯人憎恨法国人长期统治而引起的。人们四处搞破坏，法国政府发觉事态严重，便于一九五七年十月七日，派马丘将军率领四十万大军驻于斯拉姆地区，但是暴乱仍层出不穷，法国人的镇压行动已明显升级。阿里．拉波安原只是一个以扒窃为生的小偷，由于他的果敢和身体力行，而同时与宾米提成为阿尔及利亚独立运动的领导者。某日，阿里男扮女装上街，最终还是被发现，他们跟踪他并突袭了基地，阿里等被处死。但阿尔及利亚的人民斗争情绪越来越高涨，这股势力不容阻挡。本片是曾获威尼斯大奖的半纪录影片，完全利用当地民众所拍摄而成，因此，呈现于观众眼前的是一部忠于史实的独立战争影片。 　　 　　 本片是欧洲电影批判殖民主义的先驱典范之作。首先得正视其「第三世界电影」的胸襟：即替被殖民者压抑了的实存赋予音容、重塑形骸，以形式的翻新为手段。导演动用左翼普及美学策略，主角不再是个人而是人民，更以可跟纪录片乱真的影象语言，重演五四至六二年间阿尔及利亚反抗法国统治的活动，逐步升级为山洪般暴发的独立战争。最难得的是没有简单的美化/丑化任何一方，笔触冷静而不失立场。群潮流动的场面调度雄浑有劲，曾获威尼斯影展金狮奖。本片在法禁映多年，连在香港(因其反殖信息)也不例外。

Corner Store is the true story of Yousef Elhaj; beloved shop owner, Palestinian immigrant and long-distance father. Ten years ago, Yousef left his wife and three small children in Palestine to start a new life for them all in San Francisco. For the past decade he has worked day and night to build a small business, save money, and become part of his adopted community while still trying to stay connected from afar. The film profiles Yousef's life in San Francisco and the challenges of the immigration process for his family. It then follows his journey back to his fractured homeland to finally reunite with his wife and kids. But a lot has changed, and Yousef must confront the current realities in both his family and his country and decide if a new life in America is really still the right path for them to take.

Corner Store faithfully documents Yosuef's resoundingly universal tale of hard won choices for a better life, now set on the back drop of San Francisco and modern-day Palestine. Compelling and emotionally-engaging, the film is a story about community relationships, cultural understanding, immigration, and the politics of living in an occupied territory. Even more, the film is about family, the sacrifices people make for each other, and the deep connections that bind us all together.

In this lyrical and searing debut novel written by a rising literary star and MacDowell Fellow, a young man is preparing to serve in the Israeli army while also trying to reconcile his close relationship to two Palestinian siblings with his deeply ingrained loyalties to family and country.

The story begins in an Israeli military jail, where — four days after his nineteenth birthday — Jonathan stares up at the fluorescent lights of his cell, and recalls the series of events that led him there.

Two years earlier: Moving back to Israel after several years in Pennsylvania, Jonathan is ready to fight to preserve and defend the Jewish state, which his grandfather — a Salonican Jew whose community was wiped out by the Nazis — helped establish. But he is also conflicted about the possibility of having to monitor the occupied Palestinian territories, a concern that grows deeper and more urgent when he meets Nimreen and Laith — the twin daughter and son of his mother’s friend.

From that winter morning on, the three become inseparable: wandering the streets on weekends, piling onto buses toward new discoveries, laughing uncontrollably. They share joints on the beach, trading snippets of poems, intimate secrets, family histories, resentments, and dreams. But with his draft date rapidly approaching, Jonathan wrestles with the question of what it means to be proud of your heritage and loyal to your people, while also feeling love for those outside of your own tribal family. And then that fateful day arrives, the one that lands Jonathan in prison and changes his relationship with the twins forever.

Powerful, important, and timely, Sadness Is a White Bird explores one man’s attempts to find a place for himself, discovering in the process a beautiful, against-the-odds love that flickers like a candle in the darkness of a never-ending conflict.

影片改编自大卫·格兰所著畅销书《Killers of the Flower Moon：The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI》，聚焦1920年代的美国俄克拉何马州，“欧塞奇族印第安人谋杀案”（Osage Indian Mur ders）。当年欧塞奇族人因原居地发现油矿而获得持续巨额收入，有人为阻止上述安排而策划连环谋杀，4年间60人被杀，震惊全国。为此当年美国政府成立“调查局”（即FBI联邦调查局前身）跨部门调查，揭发维护欧塞奇族人权益的“欧塞奇监护人计划”原来极度腐败；最后即使在大量证据下，亦只有少数的谋杀案获得起诉。
