World Cinema: Israel - Hardcover
Newly updated to include analysis of internationally acclaimed films produced up to 2010! This book provides a fascinating account of film-making in Israel, from the early pioneering newsreels and documentaries to the bold work of contemporary feature directors such as Uri Barbash, Michal Bat-Adam, Moshe Mizrahi and Dan Wolman, and controversial documentarists such as Amos Gitai and Ram Loevy. The book offers an analysis of Israeli film as a reflection of both social issues and cultural development, and chronicles the evolution of the film industry in a small and new country besieged by serious internal and external conflicts. Zionism, the period of the British Mandate in Palestine and the establishment of the State of Israel, the relationship between Arab and Jew, the cinema's extended preoccupation with war and its aftermath, and the representation of women, are all closely discussed.
