这部影片是经过多年的调查、研究、文字资料、筛选、访谈,一些是记录下的、一些是从学习中得知,并了解后充分展开的结果。演员、思想家、制片人、导演、教授影评人通过讨论,建立起一个破碎而不完整的叙事,所以得出的只是过程而不是最终的结果。
The first 1933 - 1978 starts with the Zionist movement and ends with the first re-visitation of that history. The second 1978 - 2005 starts at the beginning of the political wave until the more recent personal cinema. However chronological, both episodes cover most of the genres, themes and periods of Israeli cinema - from the beginning of the Zionist Mouvement to the most personal stories - from commercial to politically engaged directors, from the local to the universal. A HISTORY OF ISRAELI CINEMA tells the story of the building of a gaze on a society torn by ethnics, religious, and political conflicts. It attempts to understand, to denounce or to explore this complex subjects, always searching for the right ethic, the right form: to explore or transform its own definition and its place in the world.
