For a year and a half, the acclaimed photo-journalist Micha Bar-Am, born in Berlin in 1930, allowed gifted documentarian Ran Tal to enter his vast archive of iconic snapshots, enlargements, contact sheets and negatives—images that Bar-Am took over more than fifty years—as the two of them reflected on Israel’s history and Bar-Am’s career. The result is an intimate portrait of Bar-Am and a testament to the power, beauty and horror of photographic imagery. The film offers a unique cinematic experience that explores the relationship between sound and picture (how to imbue still photography with movement) and between movement and stillness (freezing cinematic movement to distill meaning and emotion). A must see for amateur and professional photographers, Israeli history buffs, cinephiles and art lovers of all stripes.
