Ari Folman’s Made in Israel (2001)
In the Israeli collective memory, the Yom Kippur’s battles in the Golan Heights have become synonymous with a long lasting national scar that fails to disappear. Interestingly, until the release of Yaron Zilberman’s recent television series Valley of Tears (She’at Ne’Ila, 2020), this war, which was traditionally associated with the pictured northern landscape, had appeared in few documentaries, but was almost absent from Israeli feature films. Th…
Three Mothers (2006) by Dina Zvi-Riklis
This article relates to the complex approach of Dina Zvi-Riklis’ film Three Mothers (2006) to immigration, an issue that is central to both the Jewish religion and Israeli identity.

Both instruct the individual to opt for the obliteration of his past. However,…

This article examines the changing roles and perceptions of female soldiers in Israeli cinema, from the traditional stereotypes of the early years to the response of young Israeli women filmmakers in the 2000s to the gender inequality and violence that is an integral part of any military systems. After a survey of the traditional representations of women soldiers and the minor roles they played in early Israeli cinema, we discuss two films by Isr…
Arnon Goldfinger’s The Flat
This article engages with one of the most successful contemporary Israeli documentaries, Arnon Goldfinger's The Flat (Israel, 2011). Its success, both in Israel and worldwide, has been attributed to the unusual relationship it reveals: the sustained friendship between the Tuchlers, a Jewish-Israeli couple of German origin who were the director's grandparents, and a German couple, of whom the husband was none other than the notorious Nazi officer …
