My commentary students viewed the Oscar-winning short film West Bank Story as part of a reviewing assignment. It’s a fun little film that runs about 20 minutes and is a great choice for a review assignment. It’s short enough to show in class, it has lots of different reviewable elements in it, it provokes a wide range of responses, and it’s readily available. The version I showed in class I purchased through iTunes.
Here’s some basic background on it:
- The official West Bank Story website
- NPR interview with WBS filmmaker
