There is an effervescent literature dealing with the themes of conflicts between Israel and the Palestinians as well as the Arab countries. For a long time the filmography about this came down to a few directors, like the Israeli Amos Gitai. In the last decade, however, a series of fiction films and documentaries made by local filmmakers on these issues has gained the screens of the world and won numerous awards. The purpose of this article is precisely to present and analyze some of these works, beginning with brief reflection on the importance of audiovisual works to reflect on the history of this time in the Middle East. "The Syrian Bride", "Lemon Tree", "Laila 's Birthday", "Paradise Now", "5 Broken Cameras" and "The Gatekeepers", three Israeli works and three Palestinian works, are then selected to deal with representations and interpretations made about the stage of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians over the last decade, as well as its relations with the Middle East in general .
