Yet, the plurality and diversity of Israeli society, religious and secular, European, African or Middle Eastern, Arab or Jew, rich or poor, straight or gay has been preserved in the documentaries and films that constitute Israeli Cinema. This course will examine a medium that emerged from the 1930s, but gained strength after the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, that has recorded Israeli culture in its secularity and diversity. This course considers the various ways the filmic medium has portrayed Israel?s complex matrix of cultural identities. The different sessions address some of the major factors shaping Israeli culture (e.g., contemporary immigration; engagements with the Palestinian Other; gender politics; and queer identity). We will examine cinematic styles and trends, great directors including Amos Gitai, Daniel Wachsmann, Michal Bat-�?Adam and Michal Aviad.
