Yoav Shamir, Director
Appeared at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival
In August 2005, the Israeli Defense Forces were given the task of forcibly removing all remaining Israeli settlers from the Gaza Strip. During the controversial five-day evacuation, filmmaker Yoav Shamir (CHECKPOINT) had multiple film crews document the key events of the disengagement by intimately following soldiers and settlers. What results is a moving and darkly comic documentary account, which some critics have likened to Rashomon. "Shamir shows a very canny eye for telling and bizarre details" — Variety.
