Animated documentary film written and directed by Ari Folman released in 2008 in Israel. That same year he won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film and the César for Best Foreign Film.
In 1982, Ari Folman was a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces and participated in the Lebanon War. Years later, in 2006, he met with a friend who also fought in the war and who tells him he suffers nightmares about those events. Ari cannot remember. However, after a few hours, the image of the slaughter at Sabra and Shatila comes to his mind.
This was the starting point of Waltz with Bashir, which took four years to complete. Xan Brooks in The Guardian described it as "extraordinary, heartbreaking and provocative."
Its projection is part of the cycle Cine y cómic: la historia y el sueño (Film and Comic: the history and the dream), held at CaixaForum Palma October1to November 5. The presentations of the films will be carried out by Josep Lluís Fecé, professor at the University of Girona, and Cristina Pujol, Ph.D. in Communication Studies, researcher on gender issues and media professor at the Open University of Catalunya.
