SUMMARY:Reel Culture: The History of Israeli Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Discover the rich history and legacy of Israeli film through this online class with a top expert.\nHow is film molded by national memory — and how does film create it? \nThis course traces the development of cinema in Israel/Palestine from the 1930s to the present\, examining how films reflect and shape cultural identity\, political tensions and social change. \nProf. Olga Gershenson\, a leader in the study of Jewish film history\, will begin by discussing early Zionist cinema then explore the “bourekas” ethnic comedies of the 1960s-70s\, such as “Sallah” (1964). \nThe 1980s-90s brought serious social dramas addressing Holocaust memory and the Palestinian Wave\, with films like “Wedding in Galilee” (1987). The 2000s saw international recognition for directors like Eytan Fox\, Joseph Cedar\, and Eran Kolirin. \nRecent developments include Israeli horror films and films with a Palestinian point of view. The course will even include cinematic responses to Oct. 7. \nTogether\, we’ll examine how cinema functions as a form of memory\, and we’ll explore epic themes of land\, migration and conflict. \nClass will meet at 7 p.m. ET: 10/13\, 10/21\, 10/28\, 11/4
