Dirty pictures (hotel diaries 7)

John Smith

Moving from one hotel in Bethlehem to another in East Jerusalem, the
filmmaker encounters a series of problems involving a ceiling, a video
camera and the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Dirty Pictures is the
seventh episode in the Hotel Diaries series, an ongoing collection of video
recordings made in hotel rooms which relate personal experiences to
contemporary world events. John Smith is a graduate of the Royal College of
Arts and a leading UK video installation and film artist. "At once
politically concerned and very funny, these brilliantly structured
ramblings connect the observations of his surroundings with the horror of
world events in consistently surprising ways." (Maximilian Le Cain, Film
Ireland)
