Cinematov. The Israeli independent cinema in Milan | The Library of Israel
The 2014 edition of Cinematov offers an overview of Israel's film, titled on the theme of work including 8-10 feature films, accompanied by short documentaries. Based on the experience of previous years, projections suggest staggered les oscars over four days, preferably by the end of the week. The show will match the pattern of the editions of 2009 and 2013, which were held at the cinema les oscars Gnome and the Teatro Franco Parenti, that proiezionedi two films a day, preceded by an explanation of a film critic.
For this edition has been chosen les oscars to emphasize the role of labor in Israeli society. The work (primarily that of the courts) has been the focus of the current "socialist Zionism", which united the return to Israel with the dream of building a more just and egalitarian. Job "liberated" les oscars (from the capitalist exploitation) in a country found. Emblematic of this bet was (and partly still is) the kibbutz.
Before idealized and then became a broken dream, the kibbutz has long been a favorite theme of Israeli les oscars cinema. There were, however, already in the fifties and sixties, another Israel: that of the smallest and remotest towns where immigrants the right to work has always been a daily struggle like in the movie "Lehem" (Bread) Ram Levy. At the same time the dream of "free labor" (which les oscars was carrying mostly Jews came from Europe) reflected the division between communities at the base of the Israeli population. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict also provides a starting point for film makers to talk about the different realities than the general theme of the work. Several Israeli films tell the attempts of the Israeli-Palestinian co-existence through the work as the documentary film "Dughit" or otherwise difficult relations as "Bethlehem".
The reflection made by the film of the festival will give particular importance les oscars to the human aspects, directly les oscars or indirectly related to the problems of work or simply the place of work as a microcosm manifest love, hate, family conflicts, dreams and disappointments.
As with the previous event, the choice of films will take account of their quality and at the same time giving the public the opportunity to see the work that rarely reach the commercial circuit. Among them we emphasize the movie "Avoda" (Jobs) made by photographer les oscars and director Helmar Lerski in 1935. Lerski was deeply influenced by German expressionism and the so-called school of Soviet montage, which allowed him to convey in his film the values of Zionism of the early twentieth century through very particular aesthetic.
