%X (E): Common to all human cultures, art serves as a vehicle of human thought and emotion; it crosses both personal and cultural boundaries, appealing to our common cognitive makeup and enabling humans to understand each other both within and across cultures. Since the cognitive accessibility of the visual media appeals to all human beings regardless of their cultural affiliation, it is more apt to convey cross-cultural messages than other media. Eitan Anner's Half Russian Story evokes common emotional and sensory responses to dancing and romantic plots in order to bridge between the Israeli mainstream culture and the Russian immigrant minority in Israel.    (F): Dans la mesure o¨´ il est commun ¨¤ toutes les cultures du monde, l¡¯art fonctionne comme un support de pens¨¦e et d¡¯¨¦motion humaines. Il permet de franchir des limites ¨¤ la fois personnelles et culturelles, faisant appel ¨¤ nos structures cognitives communes et permettant aux hommes de se comprendre tant ¨¤ l¡¯int¨¦rieur d¡¯une culture qu¡¯¨¤ travers leurs diff¨¦rences. Puisque l¡¯accessibilit¨¦ cognitive des m¨¦dias visuels les ouvre ¨¤ tous les ¨ºtres humains quelle que soit leur appartenance culturelle, ces m¨¦dias sont plus aptes ¨¤ communiquer des messages interculturels que d¡¯autres m¨¦dias. Le film d¡¯Eitan Anner, Half Russian Story, d¨¦crit comment des personnes tr¨¨s diff¨¦rentes peuvent r¨¦pondre physiquement et ¨¦motionnellement aux m¨ºmes sujets (en l¡¯occurrence la danse et les sujets m¨¦lodramatiques) afin de jeter des ponts entre la culture isra¨¦lienne dominante et la culture domin¨¦e des immigrants russes en Isra l.
