Coffee - Between Reality and Imagination is a cinematic collaboration between young Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers, who together created a series of short films, all dealing with the project title - coffee. Eight films were produced: two documentaries and two fiction films were made by Palestinian filmmakers, and four fiction films by Israeli filmmakers. Each of the films gives a personal and courageous point of view on the reality in which the filmmakers live.
"Like a small café on Strangers Avenue. It is love... open for all." Mahmoud Darwish

Traces of intertwined lives in a West Bank village.

Control over the water supply dominates not only the various aspects of daily life, it dampens their spirit. 

A Thai worker in Israel is hit by a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip. Unable to work during two years, he gets deeply in debt and receives no assistance and is afraid of being expelled from the country. His Israeli employer complains of the State’s irresponsibility while concealing his own exploitation of his workers. He explains the plight of the agriculture market: due to globalization and the Israel-Palestine conflict, which has forced him to import Thai workers since  Palestinian workers are no longer allowed to leave Gaza Strip.

Eid is a Palestinian Bedouin living under Israeli occupation. Ever since he can remember, Eid has picked up scrap materials and turned them into art. By following Eid's creative process, this film celebrates the optimism and integrity which enables him to transform the machinery of occupation into an artistic expression of individuality and hope.

A portrait of Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Koreige, a unique couple who are filmmakers,  photographers and artists whose work deals mainly with Beirut and its ruins. It is an artistic perambulation in a territory where imagination may well be the only refuge in the face of war.
