Film

And Europe Will Be Stunned  is the extraordinary trilogy of short films by Israeli artist Yael Bartana.

The films revolve around the activities of a political group that calls for the return of 3,300,000 Jews to the land of their forefathers. And Europe Will Be Stunned traverses a landscape scarred by the histories of competing nationalisms and militarisms, overflowing with the narratives of the Israeli settlement movement, Zionist dreams, anti-Semitism, the Holocaust and the Palestinian right of return.

Total running time: 60 mins

This film might be Bartana’s masterpiece: a deeply provocative meditation on Jewish identity that levels political punches with surreal wit.” The Guardian
