With top billing at many film forums around the world, as well as a
string of prestigious prizes, including consecutive nominations for
the Best Foreign Film Oscar, Israeli films have become one of the
most visible and promising cinemas in the first decade of the
twenty-first century, an intriguing and vibrant site for the
representation of Israeli realities. Yet two decades have passed
since the last wide-ranging scholarly overview of Israeli cinema,
creating a need for a new, state-of-the-art analysis of this
exciting cinematic oeuvre. The first anthology of its kind in
English, Israeli Cinema: Identities in Motion presents a collection
of specially commissioned articles in which leading Israeli film
scholars examine Israeli cinema as a prism that refracts collective
Israeli identities through the medium and art of motion pictures.
The contributors address several broad themes: the nation imagined
on film; war, conflict, and trauma; gender, sexuality, and
ethnicity; religion and Judaism; discourses of place in the age of
globalism; filming the Palestinian Other; and new cinematic
discourses. The authors' illuminating readings of Israeli films
reveal that Israeli cinema offers rare visual and narrative
insights into the complex national, social, and multicultural
Israeli universe, transcending the partial and superficial images
of this culture in world media.
