This paper aims to investigate some aspects of the historical conflict between Israel and Palestine through the analysis of two documentaries: the Palestinian Five Broken Cameras (Emad Burnat and Guy Davidi, 2011) and the Israeli Avenge But One of my Two Eyes (Avi Mograbi, 2005). The conflict between Israel and Palestine is of great importance for understanding political, economic, and cultural relations in the Middle East. In this way, the research intends to analyze the documentaries and their perspectives on the conflict through the cinematographic look and scene construction of each director, as both explore the question of Palestine from their experience and national and political identity. The different aspects of cinematographic construction are the result of what directors live and feel in the moment they experience. In this respect, the camera works, in both films, as a mechanism that reveals the relationship that the two directors have with the territory and, above all, with the borders that delimit them from each other.
