SCN 2 min from Lily Keber on Vimeo.

In July 2009, Lily and New Orleans Video Voices teamed up with the Iberville Boys & Girls Club to teach basic documentary video skills. The result of this short, intensive workshop speaks for itself- playful and giggly, but rife with the violence and grief of their community. Made possible with funding from Transforma Project.

Gaza Under Siege from Lily Keber on Vimeo.

Featured on: Electronic Intifada, GRITtv with Laura Flanders, Current TV, SF Bay View, CommonDreams, Hawaiian Public Access(!), and many others. Too tedious to list them here, and who’s going to click on all those links anyway?

……………………………
A short film chronicling the impact of incarceration on families in Gaza. With over 11,000 Gazas held in Israeli prisons, it is difficult to find a family who has not been affected. For over three years, no family visits have been allowed, and communication is difficult, often impossible. Shot in June 2009. Produced by Jordan Flaherty and Lily Keber.
