Israel, 1997, 16 mm
English and Hebrew and French with English subtitles
6 hours with a 1-hour intermission
Director: Ron
Havilio
A deeply personal journey through
one of the world's most spiritual places, Fragments*Jerusalem
takes us on an epic voyage through Jerusalem. Told in seven chapters, this
experimental documentary reveals the history of the city through a combination
of archival clips, drawings, stunning original footage, and personal reflections
of the filmmaker, Ron
Havilio. The film includes seemingly isolated segments from the filmmaker's
personal life, family history, and the city's historical development. An artist
as well as a filmmaker, Havilio has a painterly approach to documentary. Fragments*Jerusalem
promises to be a fascinating afternoon excursion through time and space. (Film
note by Erica Ginsberg)
