Director: Ran Tal
“The most horrible things are sometimes aesthetic,” says Israel’s celebrated photojournalist Micha Bar-Am. For a year and a half, he, and his archivist wife Orna allowed director Ran Tal to enter their vast archive. As they mine this extraordinary trove of over 500,000 photos, the film seamlessly intertwines an historical narrative of a country with Bar-Am’s personal reflections on the psychological and personal toll of bearing witness to multiple wars.
