a| "Jaffa, The Orange's Clockwork" provides a novel perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by focusing on the symbolic significance of the Jaffa orange, one of the internationally most recognized export products of the area. The film not only traces the history of the fruit's cultivation in Palestine, starting as early as the mid-nineteenth century, but also examines the increasing political complexity of the role the orange has played both economically and as a cultural sign of Israeli success and Palestinian loss. Interviews with those who have grown the orange for generations are juxtaposed with commentary by art critics, historians, film scholars, and the poet Haim Gourin to elucidate how both Orientalism and Zionism in various European narratives have helped destroy the initially quite benign cooperation between Palestinian and Jewish cultivators. Visually captivating and politically bold, the film weaves in rich archival material and striking interviews, ultimately asking what the Jaffa's past might tell us about the future in Palestine/Israel.
