IHSS Fellow Dr Daniel Mann's ((School of Languages, Linguistics and Film) "Under a Blue Sun" (2024) Film Screenings at Visions du Réel Film Festival 2024
Synopsis
Under a Blue Sun underscores the way in which fiction can serve as a prism for understanding reality. Daniel Mann probes the complexity of the Israeli-Palestinian territory – its sufferings both spoken and unspoken – through the lens of a 1988 blockbuster. Rambo III, which depicts the Soviet-Afghan War, was actually shot in the desert of Negev, with the complicity of the Israeli army.
