Close, Closed, Closure
''Close, Closed, Closure'' (סגר) is a documentary film by Ram Loevy that aired on Israel's Channel 8 on 5 August 2002. The film describes life in the occupied Gaza Strip, three years before Israel unilaterally disengaged from there in 2005. The film employed both Israeli and Palestinian film crews to tell the story behind the intense frustrations of the local population, which erupted in the Second Intifada and the 2008-2009 Gaza War. At the same time, it also presents the attitudes of two conflicting groups in Israel: the rightwing settlers, who express their contempt for the local population; and the leftwing peace camp that demanded an Israeli withdrawal.〔(''Close, Closed, Closure'' ), Icarus Films.〕 The title derives from the frequent closures of Gaza by the Israeli government—during the filming, the border between Israel and Gaza was closed, opened, and closed again.〔Ofri Cnaani-David, "A Comparison between Israeli and Palestinian documentary films that deal with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during the Second Intifada," unpublished paper, May 2003.〕
==Protagonists==
In ''Close, Closed, Closure'' Loevy makes no secret of the political agenda underlying his film. He describes Gaza as "a prison with one million inmates"〔(David Kehr, "Opposing Views, Shared Agonies," ) in the ''New York Times'', January 15, 2003.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sfjff.org/film/detail?id=1951 )〕 that is "dependent on its ties with Israel—its enemy."〔 Toward that end, the Palestinian side is told mainly through series of interviews with the family of Fadl and Najwa Sultan of Beit Lahia, whose son Muhammad lost both his legs because soldiers at the border crossing prevented them from getting him to an East Jerusalem hospital on time.〔(Ram Shaked, "Closing the Sea. And Everything Else" ("סוגרים את הים. ואת כל השאר") ), on Ynet, 5 August 2002 (Hebrew).〕
The family is consistently articulate, even when the mother refuses to speak with Loevy at their last scheduled interview: Complaining that the Israeli left has abandoned the people of Gaza, she says: "You've all become fanatics, so we no longer believe in peace." Though she knows that Loevy is opposed to occupation she cannot bring herself to ignore his association with the occupiers,〔 saying: "I'm not sure you should be in our house now. I don't know that I can talk to you anymore."〔(Stuart Klawans, "The Eastern Front," ) in ''The Nation'', 23 January 2003.〕 Nevertheless, toward the end of film she reconciles with Loevy and even apologizes to him. She has come to look past his identity as an Israeli and an occupier, and see him as a human being.
This attitude contrasts sharply with that of a settler and self-described educator, Gideon Bashan, who tells Loevy: "A rooster, even if he climbs on top of a fence and shouts, 'I'm a human being!' still remains a rooster.'"〔 Nevertheless, as one reviewer points out: "The settlers and Palestinians do share some common ground: Each demonizes the other. All see themselves as unique victims. And everyone, of course, has rock-headed faith in divine intervention."〔(J. Hoberman, "God on Our Side," ) in the ''Village Voice'', 14 January 2003.〕
