The four chambered heart is the film resulting from Filipa César's invitation to the artistic residency of the Israeli Digital Art Center in Holon in 2007. Based on Jean Rouch's film La pyramide humaine (1959), César's proposal shows the reactions of students from different film schools to the French filmmaker's film. The conflict between Palestine and Israel, the colonizing gaze and the role of the filmmaker herself end up articulating a deep reflection on the place of cinema in contemporary political reality.
