Screening of Ran Tal's award winning film 1341 Frames of Love and War and Q&A with the Director
For a year and a half, the acclaimed photo-journalist, Israel‘s most celebrated war photographer Micha Bar-Am allowed director Ran Tal to enter his vast archive of negatives. Composed entirely of images that Bar-Am took over more than fifty years, “1341 Frames of Love and War” reveals the enormous price that comes along with documenting atrocities and wars. It provides an intimate portrait of an artist and a meditation on memory, violence and identity. A complex love letter to the power, beauty and horror of photographic imagery, it is an epic journey of self-doubt and questioning through the camera.
This event is organized by Judaic Studies Department & The Center forIsrael Studies and sponsored by Richard Byrne ‘83 Judaic Studies Endowment.
