“Lesson of the Homeland” and the Stories We Tell: A Conversation with Anat Zeltser
Anat Zeltser is the Ken Burns of Israel. Over the past 25 years, she has made deeply researched and thought- provoking films about Israel’s identity, history, culture and politics.
On April 26, the AARC and wider Jewish community will have the opportunity for a conversation with her about her work. Gilad Halpern, a journalist and media historian will lead a conversation with Anat, and there will be time for questions from the audience.
Both Anat and Gilad have been Fellows at the University of Michigan’s Frankel Center this year and will soon be leaving town. This event is a rare opportunity to meet and learn from “the best documentary creator in Israel,” (according to one of her reviews); another Israeli critic describes her work as “mesmerizing, informative, and profound.”
We ask that participants come having watched the first part of her series “Lesson of the Homeland.”. A link is here. And please RSVP to this google form to let us know you’re coming.
