Arte.tv is currently producing a fascinating web documentary Gaza/Sderot: Life in Spite of Everything. Every day during its running time, two short (a couple minutes each) videos are added to the site - one shot in the Palestinian city of Gaza, the other in the neighboring Israeli town of Sderot, just across the border. The videos are presented in an innovative format, side by side, separated by the “/” representing the border between the two cities. Context is key here: to watch one video without the other  would be to miss the bigger picture.

The video content is aimed at the international community and is available with subtitles in several languages. We have teamed up with our friends at french web studio Upian to help them with streamlining their custom video subtitling process which is part of the back office infrastructure they have erected for this project.

Take a minute and check it out! You can also embed the latest Gaza/Sderot video feed into your blog.
