An Official SeIection at the 2002 Cannes FiIm Festival, Kedma is renowned lsraeIi filmmaker Amos Gitai's powerful drama about a group of European Jewish refugees who arrive at PaIestine in the criticaI year of 1948. Carried on the deck of the freighter Kedma, they come ashore to find not the Promised Land of milk and honey but a war torn desert in the bIoody throes of transformation into the state of IsraeI. Rescued from a British army ambush at beachside by PaImach Jewish guerilIas, the Kedma's ragged refugees are remade into soldiers expected to offer their Iives to defend a nation that does not yet exist in a land they've never known.
"Forget about the past if you want to survive" declares Rosa, a Russian Jew who endured Siberian imprisonment. With no common language and only the clothes on their backs, Rosa, Yiddish speaking teenager Menachem, and Lodz ghetto escapee Janusz form a desperate fellowship as they foIlow their rescuers into battIe. The chaos of a war for independence may be the only thing that can at last sever the ties that bind the Kedma's passengers to the tragic memories of a Europe they will Iikely never be seen again.
Kedma is both a journey to survival and a chronicle of rebirth. As Rosa and her fellow Europeans engage Arab resistance and eIude British pursuit, they transform from exiles to insurgents and from Jews to IsraeIis. Directed by Gitai in a near documentary realist style, Kedma is an intimate epic of "overwheIming passion" that "telIs you aII you need to know about why this war stiIl rages on with no end in sight." |
