Further details

After the screening, there will be a conversation with the film’s director, Ran Tal.

Frames from the Camera of Micha Bar-Am is a film about photography and a war photographer. But no less than that, it is a film about the scars that history leaves—not only on its victims, but also on those who document it.

Micha Bar-Am, one of Israel’s foremost photographers, devoted fifty years of photography to documenting the Israeli project. Now, at over ninety years old, he looks back on his life and the images he collected, trying to understand what all of it was for and for whom.

For a year and a half, Bar-Am allowed director Ran Tal (Children of the Sun, Garden of Eden, The Museum) unrestricted access to his vast photography archive, located in the basement of his home. Tal selected 1,341 frames and used them to create the film.
