Film came to the territory that eventually became Israel not long
after the medium was born. Casting a Giant Shadow is a collection
of articles that embraces the notion of transnationalism to
consider the limits of what is "Israeli" within Israeli cinema. As
the State of Israel developed, so did its film industries. Moving
beyond the early films of the Yishuv, which focused on the creation
of national identity, the industry and its transnational ties
became more important as filmmakers and film stars migrated out and
foreign films, filmmakers, and actors came to Israel to take
advantage of high-quality production values and talent. This
volume, edited by Rachel Harris and Dan Chyutin, uses the idea of
transnationalism to challenge the concept of a singular definition
of Israeli cinema. Casting a Giant Shadow offers a new
understanding of how cinema has operated artistically and
structurally in terms of funding, distribution, and reception. The
result is a thorough investigation of the complex structure of the
transnational and its impact on national specificity when
considered on the global stage.
