The New Wave in

Israeli Cinema

Encounters withthe Rising

Generation of

Israeli Film

First Session

Contemporary Israeli

cinema is blessed with a

large group of filmmakers

who are just starting outand already made their

mark with an exciting

debut film. Some have

already cleared the hurdle

of the second outing and

made an additional

astonishing cinematic

contribution. These young

men and women have a

lot to say, and they do sothrough the movie

camera. They question the

place where they live and

work, question universal

social issues, and

uncertainties about their

own identity and that of

those around them.

Every month we will meet

young filmmakers who are

part of this new wave, and

hold a serious

conversation about their

sources of inspiration,

view of the world and

work process,

accompanied by clips from

their work.

Suddenly a ManGets Up in the

Morning

The Poetry of Amir

Gilboa

People always thought ofAmir Gilboaas one of the

Palmach-generation

poets, but he stubbornly

insisted that he didnt

belong to any group. In

the midst of the secular

nationalism of Hebrew

poetry, Gilboa wanted to

pray out of the siddur of

the heart andsavepeople (or be saved

himself) from being a

sacrifice to the State.

To mark the thirtieth

anniversary of his death,

we will devote an evening

to a poet who spoke in a

unique voice even when

seen as one of many, a

poet who tried to catch

the butterfly and keep a

stubborn grip on the wisp

of a dream. We will try to

do the same thing.

The New Wave in

Israeli Cinema

Encounters with

the Rising

Generation ofIsraeli Film

Second Session

Contemporary Israeli

cinema is blessed with a

large group of filmmakers

who are just starting out

and already made their

mark with an exciting

debut film. Some have

already cleared the hurdle

of the second outing and

made an additional

astonishing cinematic

contribution. These young

men and women have a

lot to say, and they do so

through the movie

camera. They question the

place where they live and

work, question universal

social issues, and

uncertainties about their

own identity and that of

those around them.

Every month we will meet

young filmmakers who are

part of this new wave, andhold a serious

conversation about their

sources of inspiration,

view of the world and

work process,

accompanied by clips from

their work.

Editor and moderator:

Oron Shamir, film critic

and founder of the "Srita"
