A Tale of Two Cities

How about this for a commissioning trend to watch? Time Magazine has a story on Gaza - Sderot: Life Inspite of Everything, the French-made multimedia documentary about everyday life on either side of the Gaza-Israeli border.



Though funded by the French-German television channel Arte, Gaza-Sderot was created for the internet, reversing the typical order in which films are shown on television and then posted online. While filming the two crews uploaded daily stories of about five minutes each on the production's website..... The 52 minute documentary was edited from these hours of video postings.
