A collections of 8mm home movies, hundreds of boxes of film rolls from forgotten basements, locked drawers, damp crates, and attics, containing countless hours that tell the story of Israel from the beginning of the twentieth century.
Israel: A Home Movie weaves together rare home movie clips from the early years of Israel to offer a stunning look at the history of the Jewish state. Searching through locked drawers, dilapidated cellars and cluttered attics, we have salvaged reels upon reels of original 8mm, 16mm and Super 8 film which tell the story of Israel from the early part of the 20th century. The revealed images are at times uplifting, endearing, and disturbing, exposing a collage of personal moments which comprise Israel's tangled past.—Anonymous
