Moments, Israel 2005 – Jerusalem

For the fourth year in a row, we are pleased to present the “Moments” project. Each year a theme is chosen; in 2002 it was “Moments – Israel 2002”, in 2003 “I Have a Dream” and in 2004, “The Face of the Nation.” The theme chosen for 2005 is none other than “Jerusalem.”

The participating artists bring us the various faces of Jerusalem, as seen through their cameras’ lenses. Each filmmaker presents his or her own Jerusalem, both in content and in genre, from animation to personal documentary. They invite the viewer on a journey to Jerusalem: Jerusalem the sublime, Jerusalem the earthly, the seam line, the Western Wall, the market, the soccer field, the alleyway, the Old City and the new city.

Jerusalem as it is seen in this series of short films reflects the inner worlds of different filmmakers as well as the ways in which the city defines its borders and contours. A look at Israel 2005 reveals a situation yearning for a common denominator, searching for a basis for identification and, after four years of “Moments”, still looking for hope.
