Synopsis
This book presents essays by Jean-Michel Frodon, Annette Michelson, Irma Klein, Paul Willemen, and Amos Gitai. This book's starting point is Amos Gitai's most recent film, "News From Home" (2006), the final part of the "House" trilogy. "House" (1980) was the first film by a filmmaker whose body of work includes more than forty fiction and documentary films and who was to become an unique and controversial cinematographic chronicler of Israeli and worldwide social and political developments. "News From Home" provides an overall insight into a body of work that consists of interrogations, questions of exile, migration, war, geopolitics, religion and utopia. It also includes a complete filmography.
